Ingredients
- Low-fat string cheese 38 grams
- Cucumber 120 grams
Method
-
Prepare the cucumber.
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or residues. Using a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside on a plate.
Tip: Use a serrated knife for easier slicing if your cucumber skin is tough. -
Portion the string cheese.
Take your low-fat string cheese stick and cut approximately 38 grams from it. This is roughly a little over one-third of a 100g stick. You can weigh it on a kitchen scale for accuracy. If you do not have a scale, estimate about one-third of the stick.
Tip: String cheese can be pulled apart into strands for a fun presentation. -
Assemble and serve.
Place the sliced cucumber on a serving plate and arrange the portioned string cheese alongside. This snack is ready to eat immediately.
Tip: Chill the cucumber slices beforehand for an extra refreshing snack.
Pro tips
- For a more flavorful snack, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper or dried herbs on the cucumber slices.
- Keep the string cheese refrigerated until just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
