I’m always looking for simple but creative ways to present salad veg…
Making it that little bit more exciting makes a salad a ‘must eat’ and it’s an excellent way to prepare a plate for a play date or to present food at a school/kindergarten event. You can always add a healthy dip at the side, too, to jazz it up.
I’ve used the veg I had on hand but you can substitute anything you have in the fridge.
Recipe
Ingredients
- carrot
- cucumber
- celery
- red capsicum
- baby spinach
- red cabbage
- avocado
Method
Step 1 Cut the carrot into batons and form into a rough square.
Step 2 Then use more carrot for the triangular roof.
Step 3 Fill the roof with celery tiles.
Step 4 Cut cucumber into squares for the windows.
Step 5 Then use the discarded cucumber skin for the detail on the windows.
Step 6 Use a red capsicum to make a shiny, red door.
Step 7 Give the door a celery handle and the roof a carrot chimney.
Step 8 Use more cucumber for grass and add a celery trunk for the tree.
Step 9 Give the tree some foliage by trimming a baby spinach leaf and grow some avocado bushes.
Step 10 Finally, add some red cabbage smoke and steps.
Then watch it get demolished…!
