More Cracker Biscuit Toppings

If you missed my post last Friday on the new delicious range of Arnotts Vita Weat Lunch Slices range and some suggested toppings, here it is. I also promised you two more toppings to try.

Vegetarian

• hommous spread on cracker
• shredded cabbage
• finely grated carrot
• grated apple
• finely sliced red onion
• drizzle of coleslaw dressing 
• sprig of parsley to garnish

 

 

We all liked this one and the possibilities are endless as far as finely grated vegies goes. Think grated or sliced zucchini, tomato, avocado, cucumber, lettuce, sprouts, snow peas, capsicum. The range of spreads, dips and flavoured cream cheeses on the market is also extensive or you can have a go at making your own.

 

Spanish Siesta

• mashed tinned sardines
• baby spinach leaves
• manchego cheese
• finely chopped sun dried tomatoes

 

 

We all loved this one too as my family are big cheese lovers and the creamy, piquant taste of the manchego cheese against the salty taste of the sardines was just wonderful. Team that with the thick crunch of the Vita Weat lunch slices and it’s a lunch made in heaven.

 

 

 

Topping suggestions for cracker biscuits

I was thrilled when I was selected to be one of 10 bloggers invited to try the new range of Arnotts Vita Weat Lunch Slices. I often have a couple of crackers and cheese or a spread of butter and Vegemite for lunch but try to avoid stacking the crackers too high with toppings as they sometimes crumble under the strain. No problem with that happening with the new Arnotts Vita Weat range. They’re made to withstand lots of toppings without crumbling in your hand.

Do you remember the original Vita Weats, when spread with butter and Vegemite and when squeezed, little ‘worms’ squished through the holes? I loved them! The Vita Weats have definitely ‘grown up’ since then and the good people at Arnotts have really boost the flavour of the crackers with such flavour combinations as:

• Soy, linseed and sesame
• Sunflower, oats and chia
• Sunflower, pumpkin and canola
• Poppy, sunflower and rye

The crackers are packed full of wholegrains and seeds, perfect to fill you up at lunch http://imglobalnetwork.com/vhealthportal-com-is-generic-online-pharmacy.html/ time and keep the hunger at bay in the afternoon.  Each box contains two separate packs. Ideal to keep in the pantry or your drawer at work. I decided to make lunch for my mother and sister and get their opinions on this new range of cracker biscuits.  Here are a couple toppings I served:

 

 

Thai Chicken

• Thai chilli, lemongrass, coriander & cashew dip
• cooked, sliced chicken breast
• roasted capsicum strips
• coriander leaves

 

 

This was topped on a poppy, sunflower and rye cracker. My favourite!

 

Italian Antipasto

• garlic and chive cream cheese
• tuna chunks in springwater, drained
• marinated, roasted capsicum strips
• sliced green, capsicum stuffed olives
• chunky basil pesto

 

My Mum’s favourite. This was served on the soy, linseed and sesame cracker. Both my mother and sister thoroughly enjoyed these crackers. They’re good enough to eat on their own or just with a smear of butter because of being chock full of chunky grains. With the addition of toppings you’ve got a complete, healthy snack or lunchtime treat.
