Prepare the Cheese.
Take 2 sticks of low-fat string cheese out of their packaging. If desired, you can peel the cheese into smaller strips or bite-sized pieces for easier eating.
Tip: Peeling the string cheese into strips makes it more fun and easy to eat. -
Rinse the Grape Tomatoes.
Place 1 cup of grape tomatoes in a colander and rinse them thoroughly under cool running water. Gently pat them dry with a clean paper towel.
Tip: Drying the tomatoes prevents excess moisture, keeping the snack fresh. -
Combine and Serve.
Arrange the string cheese and grape tomatoes on a small plate or bowl. You can eat them separately or alternate bites of cheese and tomato for a delicious flavor contrast.
Tip: For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper or dried herbs on the tomatoes.
Pro tips
- Use fresh string cheese and ripe grape tomatoes for the best taste and texture.
- If you want to add a little extra flavor without changing nutrition much, try a dash of Italian seasoning or a small drizzle of balsamic vinegar on the tomatoes.
