Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
This whipped boursin dip with marinated tomatoes, cucumbers, and crispy garlic is my go-to appetizer when I want something easy, delicious, and a little bit fancy. The creamy whipped Boursin makes the perfect base for juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and fragrant basil tossed in a tangy marinade, all topped with golden, crispy olive oil garlic. It’s fresh, flavorful, and always a crowd-pleaser—especially with grilled sourdough for scooping!
