Coleslaw Cucumber Sticks

Four Coleslaw Cucumber Sticks

Recipe by Richard Hunt and Neil Strawson. Makes 4

30 minutes This should take about 30 mins

You will need:

  • ½ cucumber (sliced length ways)
  • 20g apple
  • 20g carrot
  • 20g cooked beetroot
  • 30g soft cheese
  • 15g raisins
  • Work mat
  • Weighing scales
  • Teaspoon
  • Table knife (for adult use)
  • Grater
  • Fork
  • Mixing bowl
  • Dessert spoon

Remember to ask a Grown-up for help.

What to do:

Step 1

Before making, wash your hands and put an apron on. Weigh or measure all of the ingredients. Wash the vegetables and apple in clean water. Ask a grown-up to slice the cucumber length ways.

Step 2

Take a teaspoon and turn it upside-down and scrape out the cucumber seeds, along the middle of the cucumber piece.

Step 3

Turn the piece of cucumber over so that it lays flat on the work mat. With help from a grown-up, use a table knife and cut across the middle of the cucumber until you have four equal sized pieces of cucumber. Leave them to one side.

Step 4

Next, ask a grown-up to help you use a grater to grate the apple, carrot and beetroot into a mixing bowl. There is no need to clean the grater between each, just put them in one after the other. Use a fork to scrape any leftover ingredients out of the grater and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Now add the soft cheese to the bowl of grated ingredients and mix with a dessert spoon to make the coleslaw.

Step 6

Use the two spoon method to spoon the coleslaw onto the pieces of cucumber and sprinkle a few raisins on top ready to eat straight away, or wrap up and keep cool in the fridge for later.

You can also try filling half a pepper or some celery sticks with the coleslaw and raisins instead of using cucumber.
