Ingredients
- Low-fat string cheese 25 g
- Cherry tomatoes 60 g
Method
-
Prepare the cheese.
Take a standard 100g stick of low-fat string cheese and cut off a 25g portion. This is roughly one-quarter of the stick. Use a kitchen scale for accuracy if available.
Tip: If you don't have a scale, estimate by cutting a quarter of the stick lengthwise. -
Wash the cherry tomatoes.
Rinse about 60 grams (roughly 8-10 cherry tomatoes) under cold running water to clean them thoroughly. Pat dry with a clean towel or paper towel.
Tip: Drying the tomatoes prevents excess water from diluting the snack's flavor. -
Serve and enjoy.
Place the 25g piece of low-fat string cheese on a plate alongside the washed cherry tomatoes. You can eat them as finger foods or cut the cheese into smaller pieces to combine with the tomatoes.
Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper or fresh basil on the tomatoes.
Pro tips
