Serving Suggestion

For added color and texture, serve with a mixed green salad tossed with your favorite KRAFT Light Dressing.

Storage Know-How

An opened bag of shredded cheese can be resealed and stored in the freezer. When ready to use in a baked recipe, such as pizza, there is no need to thaw the cheese first. Simply add to the desired recipe and bake as directed.
