Ellie's Garden Creations

Sorry for not posting as much recently, we finally moved!! I have been getting everything settled in, unpacked, and organized. I'll actually try to do a post on my kitchen organization soon! 

Now, my first post to get back on the regular posting bandwagon is going to be something delicious my sister invented!! This is a picture of Ellie, and one of her "Garden Creations" as she calls them. They're delicious and I calculated them to be only 25 calories for each one! They're a delicious snack, and all the veggie's are from my Mom's garden! 

Ellie uses the Formaggio brand Fresh Mozzarella balls from Sam's Club, cucumber's, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and Ken's Lite Caesar salad dressing.

First, she prepares the cheese, by taking the cheese balls and slicing them into fourths.

Next, she prepares the cucumbers, by taking slices of cucumber and slicing them into fourths as well.

Now, you have your prepared cucumber fourths, and mozzarella fourths.

After that, she cuts/pinches the basil leaves from the stem to prepare them as well.

Now, Ellie slides a cherry tomato onto a toothpick.

Next, she adds a piece of the mozzarella, a basil leaf that has been folded into thirds, and tops it with a piece of the cucumber. 

 

 After that,  take your Ken's Steakhouse Lite Caesar dressing and pour a little into a tupperware container. Lightly dredge your Garden Creation in the dressing on both sides, and then leave it in the container. 

Finally, let them "marinate" over night, or enjoy right away!!  

These are delicious, and such a healthy, light, fresh snack! 

Let me know what you think!!
