This is an old food find that I would like to resurface. I realized today how much I use Laughing Cow but I always do the same two things with it. Use it either as a dip for crackers or as the cheese on a sandwich. I know there has to be other interesting applications so I thought I would throw the question out there.
How do you use Laughing Cow cheese?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

I made burger patties with 93% ground beef and put some herb & cheese laughing cow in the center of each, then grilled. This was one of my families favorite meals this summer.
I made a HUGE spaghetti squash last night and had quite a bit left over. So-I sprayed a skillet with some I can\’t believe it\’s not butter spray and added 2 wedges of herb and garlic laughing cow cheese, a little FF half and half and a little skim milk. When the cheese wedges started to melt a bit, I added my cold squash strands and some garlic powder, salt and pepper. It was a HUGE plate of food, and couldn\’t have been more than 3 WWP\’s. Very tasty-kinda like alfredo.
I spread it on yellow or orange peppers stick it in the microwave for a few minutes and eat. Sometimes adding some low calorie turkey. Also I found out that they freeze well so when the store has a sale I stock up. They can be a tad less creamy but still taste wonderful.
I use it on sandwiches instead of mayo( I LOATHE low-fat mayo) and it’s very good for breakfast. My favorite recipe is: serving of eggbeaters, two slices of whole grain bread, speading laughing cow on toast with slices of fresh tomato and cracked black pepper. Very low in points and VERY yummy.
Spread on a toasted whole wheat mini bagel square, topped with bruschetta. Easy pizza.
I just tried this idea tonight.
1 flour tortilla (cut in half)
1 apple (peel and slice thin)
1 wedge of laughing cow cheese
Spread laughing cow cheese on 1 side of each tortilla half
Place apples in dish sprinkle with 2 packets of splenda and heavy cinnamon. Cover and microwave 4 minutes. Place on one tortilla and top with the other one. Heat griddle on med high . Spray both sides of tortilla and place on hot griddle. Brown on 1st side and turn. Cut in half.
Mmmmmmm! and only 3 points!
Duh! spray with Pam.
I love this post! Thank you, everyone. I literally looked up this post as I was grocery shopping, while my husband patiently stood there with the cart. Honey, I know it’s here somewhere, I need to remember what everyone was talking about, again! Laughing Cow Light Cheese, right! I bought my first circle and it’s amazing. I’ve used it with eggs, english muffins, crackers, and still feel great because, that little wedge of goodness, is only ONE POINT! Yay! :) Thank you! I love new, good food finds and ideas! Yay! :)
I’m on a no carb (less than 20g per day) high protein/fat diet and loooove laughing cow. I have found it’s good on everything. I spread it on fried eggs the other day, it was really good and I don’t even really like eggs, gotta do them because of the protein though. So this morning I had several walnuts – dipped them in laughing cow. First one was kind weird, but i ate them all like that in no time.
At lunch today I had another one, I think I’m addicted. I got the grill chicken from mickey d’s – plain, threw away the bun. So i basically had a grilled chicken breast. Covered it in laughing cow, soooo good! My favorite is the garlic and herb, but I’m trying the french onion, just bought it. We’ll see if its as good.
I tried the “Alfredo” sause the other day, it wasn’t like alfredo, but it was still pretty good, a little thicker and kinda sticky, but still good.
I use Laughing Cow cheese to make stuffed baked chicken breasts – or to make faux alfredo sauce…..
I use it as the cheese in grilled cheese sandwiches.
My favorite way to enjoy the wedges is so simple, I wonder if it’s worth posting. I just spread small amounts on grape tomatoes individually as I pop them into my mouth! About 16-20 tomatoes to 2 wedges is my perfect ratio. I don’t know anything about points, but it seems like a healthy snack, is quite filling, and helps me get my veggies in.
I eat laughing cow with a cut up green apple.
love this cheese take two slices of whole wheat Bread cut crusts off flatened bread a little spread laughing cow cheese on bread get two dill pickles dry pickles and place on bread wrap like a jeely roll and refrigerate for a hr and the cut in pinwheels makes a nice appetizer and it is very very good made these for my bunko club and the loved them and didnt realize they were low fat and low calorie
Italian pasta bake…yay
My favorite way to use laughing cow cheese is in a hungry-girl recipe. It is their spinach dip. It says to use so many ounces of fat free cheese but I use 5 triangles laughing cow cheese, then the fat-free mayo, fat-free sour cream, reduced fat parmesan, some garlic, and defrosted/squeezed dry frozen spinach… It tastes just as good as the restaurant but only has about 75 cal for 3 large Tablespoons, which is plenty for one serving for me.
I just used laughing cow cheese on a low carb torillia wrap with eggs. My children wanted the egg burrito for breakfast I had no cheese at all in the house…mmm wondered if this would work! I lightly very lightly spread it added an egg, wrapped gave it and they loved it! :) new fav in our house
I broil a portabella mushroom cap and some sliced tomatoes while I am sauteeing fresh spinach. When everything is cooked, I spread a laughing cow light swiss on the mushroom, then layer the spinach and tomatoes on top. Awesome!!
tonight i sliced open chicken breasts and stuffed them with mushrooms, spinach, and a wedge of garlic & herb laughing cow cheese. soooo yummmy! even my 14 & 10 yr olds loved it!
i spread it on a cracker with some jelly, jam, or preserves. i love to do that with brie but its so fattening. thank goodness for laughing cow!
I use it as a dip for my carrots rather than ranch dressing. Yum!
HI I live in Arizona and would like to know who carries this product.
Richard
I can find it at most grocery stores. Walmart, carries it in their deli cheese section. Some carry it in their regular cheese section. It comes in a round, flat container.
Hi Richard. I agree with Kendra. I find it at most regular grocery stores on the east coast. Look at the deli cheese counter or contact the company directly they will be able to help.

[...] wrap with laughing cow , hamm mustard and a 1 point tortilla [...]
These are all amazing! I mix 2 laughing cow cheeses with one avocado and it makes an amazing avocado spread for sandwiches or for a dip!!
I know this is older but my favorite thing used to be to get a mini Pepperidge Farm whole grain bagel and toast it, then slather the garlic or regular flavor on it, like cream cheese. Oh my! It makes my mouth water still!
I put it in a toasted pita and stuff it with cooked spinach with a dash of garlic salt. Tasted like spinach pie and only 3 points plus value!
I have done the following with this cheese: put a wedge on a hot baked potato (healthier than butter and sour cream); put on a steak with sautéed onions; add it to broccoli; use on crackers and raw veggies; and make an Alfredo sauce with a couple of wedges, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese. I have used the alfredo sauce to cover sautéed mushrooms, onions, garlic, spinach and pasta. Yum!
