Let's take a look at some healthy options for party food! With every party you need to make provision for the kids that will prefer to eat some healthy food - or even the mom's that would like to think the kids is eating the healthier options!
Ingredients: (makes 40
mini sandwiches. Serves about 15 kids):
White or brown bread (20
slices)
Your choice of sandwich
filling
1 large whole cucumber
40 Cocktail sticks
20 Cherry tomatoes
20 medium slices of
Salami or 10 large slices cut in half
Decide on your filling
and fill the sandwiches accordingly. Simple fillings are best. Ham and
cucumber, cheese and tomatoe or tuna mayonnaise are good ideas.
Once you have made the
sandwiches, slice off the crusts.
Then cut each sandwiches
into 4 triangles. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Next place one on the top of
each sandwich triangle so the flat side is facing down.
Now make the sails for
your boats. Slice the cucumber into long strips by cutting it at an angle and
then skewer the ends of each slice onto a cocktail stick. Attach the cocktail
stick by sticking it into the cherry tomatoe.
Do the same with the
salami sails. If the slices of salami are big you can halve them or you can use
slightly smaller slices. Either way works fine.
Next place on a serving
platter and you’re ready to go.
You might also like to
try using thin cheese slices to make the sails as well.
