A healthy snack with Primula – Mummascribbles

The beginning of the year always brings diets, gym memberships and the general trying to be healthier. I always used to be a sucker for joining the gym in January,  getting trimmer by March and then stopping, paying for a monthly subscription that I no longer used. I don’t have time for the gym anymore and most of my joints are pretty rubbish these days so I am often looking for healthier food alternatives, especially when it comes to an afternoon snack. Rather than eating cakes and crisps in the afternoon, I really need to find things that aren’t quite so fattening!

When I received my latest helping of Primula cheese it was my perfect opportunity to create a healthy afternoon snack for myself. The Primula light cheese has 40% less fat than the original and so I was off to a winning start!

I thought about what might go well with it and decided that some sort of smoked salmon and cheese concoction would be delicious so at the weekend I grabbed some yummy ingredients to make myself a treat.

Working from home today and with the other half also at home after a terrible night with our poorly little munchkin,  I decided it was a perfect opportunity to have an afternoon feast.

I took a few crackers and squirted a small amount of Primula light cheese on to make it sticky, spreading it over lightly.

I then cut up some pieces of smoked salmon and placed on top. I left it quite thin because I didn’t want it to be too salmony – I thought that might be a bit overpowering.

I then spread lots of the Primula light cheese over the top of the salmon – a nice thick layer.

I finished off with a generous sprinkling of chives over the top.

Finally, I decorated the plate with a spot of lettuce and a few tomatoes to make it look attractive and even more healthy!

And there I had myself a delicious healthy afternoon snack that was so very simple to pop together. The other half absolutely loved his and was a massive fan of the Primula light cheese.

The taste of the salmon, cheese and chives was melt in the mouth tasty and he requested that should I ever want to make them again he’d be more than willing to eat more! 

Primula cheese is available at larger Asda stores. We were kindly sent the set of Primula light cheese for the purpose of this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
