A hot afternoon deserves a refreshing snack, which makes this combo the perfect pairing. Lemonade gets a big kick thanks to fresh ginger, while pretzels and creamy cheese wake up your taste buds. It's a snack that deserves a 15-minute break.

From Sarah Lipoff, POPSUGAR Food

INGREDIENTS

    • Swiss Pretzel Bites
    • 1 wedge The Laughing Cow Creamy Original Swiss Cheese
    • 5 pretzel thins
    • 1/4 cup cucumber, chopped
    • Ginger Lemonade
    • 2 cups lemonade

    • 1 thick slice ginger

    INSTRUCTIONS
