Instructions
- Prepare vegetables – peel and cut carrot into long sticks; cut cucumber into strips, remove inner seeds if you like; slice tomatoes into halves, slice capsicum.
- Prepare proteins – roll up ham slices or cut into long strips. Cut cheese into long strips.
- Arrange all ingredients on a plate in groups of individual foods so the child can choose what they like.
- Serve with soft wholemeal bread and a glass of milk. Let your child eat with their fingers.
Notes
Tip
If your child is fussy about eating their food separately, arrange the long strips in a nice pattern, grouping the single foods together so “nothing touches each other”.
Variation
Cheese and ham are the cornerstone of a Chef’s salad but after that it’s really what you’ve got hanging around in the fridge. Any combo of vegetables and cold meats or chicken works well.
Variation
Sometimes I like to add green grapes or a few blueberries for a sweet note.
