Prepare the string cheese.
Remove one stick of low-fat string cheese from its packaging. If desired, gently pull the string cheese apart into smaller strips for easier eating.

Wash the cherry tomatoes.
Rinse one cup of cherry tomatoes thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
