Cucumber Snacks: Slice a seedless cucumber into quarter inch slices. Take one slice and top with a dollop of hummus, sprinkle with cumin, top with a piece of sun-dried tomato (in oil – drained), top with another slice of cucumber and enjoy.

Creamy Muffins: In a bowl, combine low-fat cottage cheese, diced cucumber, diced green bell pepper, dice onion, some torn fresh basil leaves, and salt and pepper to taste. To serve, take an English muffin half, place a couple of thin slices of avocado on the muffin, some of the cottage cheese mixture, and top with a little lemon zest.

Sweet and Salty Snack: Combine chunks of honeydew melon, cantaloupe, and seedless watermelon with crumbled goat, feta, or blue cheese and some chopped fresh mint. Toss ingredients together gently and serve in glass bowls. You could also serve some warm bread sticks with this quick snack.
