You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces, just good food from fresh ingredients. - Julia Child

Here's a beautifully simple starter for your next gathering, or to bring along to another's house. Quality is key here. With only 2 ingredients...the salty Spanish Manchego hard cheese, and organic dates, each has to stand on its own. Easily prepped ahead of time, your guests will enjoy a lovely sweet/savory appetizer that has wonderful texture and mouthfeel. Satisfaction guaranteed.

To prepare:

Arranged thinly sliced, quality Manchego cheese and pitted date halves on a pretty little platter or cutting/serving board. A small bowl of toasted pecans or walnuts on the side adds a nice crunch.

Enjoy.
