Ingredients
- Whole wheat crackers 6 pieces
- Low-fat cheese slices 1.4 oz
- Cucumber slices 1/2 cup
Method
-
Prepare the cucumber.
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water. Using a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds. Measure out 1/2 cup of sliced cucumber and set aside.
Tip: Use a mandoline slicer if available for uniform slices. -
Portion the cheese.
Take low-fat cheese slices and weigh out approximately 1.4 oz (about 40 grams) to match the nutritional targets. If your cheese slices are pre-portioned, use about one and a half slices or adjust accordingly.
Tip: Use a kitchen scale for accurate measurement. -
Arrange crackers and toppings.
Place the 6 whole wheat crackers on a serving plate. Evenly distribute the low-fat cheese slices over the crackers. Next, top the cheese with the cucumber slices, dividing them evenly among the crackers.
Tip: For a neat presentation, place 2-3 cucumber slices per cracker.
Pro tips
- If you prefer a little extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper or dried herbs like oregano on top.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture of the crackers and fresh cucumber.
