Ingredients
For 2 servings
- 1 unit Apple
- ½ cup Cheddar Cheese
- 4 ounce Cream Sauce Base
- 4 ounce Grape Tomatoes
- 1 unit Ketchup
- 3 unit Mandarin Orange
- 7.5 ounce Maspanadas Chicken Empanadas
- 2 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 6 ounce Pretzel Bites
Additional Ingredients
- Pepper
- Salt
Swaps and substitutions
For egg-free needs, swap the creamy sauce for an egg-free dip such as plain ketchup or a dairy-free spread that still gives a tangy finish. For dairy-free diets, use a plant-based cheese sauce and skip the cheddar-based snack sauce; for wheat-free, choose gluten-free bites or an alternative snack on the side.
What to serve with it
Serve with crisp fruit like apple slices or mandarins to keep the plate bright and kid-friendly, plus extra grape tomatoes for a fresh bite. The pretzel snack fits well with a simple veggie side or more fruit to round out lunch or after-school snacking.
