The festive season means light, easy meals that children can munch in between exciting summer activities. Whip up these five recipes that serve just that purpose.
Beetroot dip with salt and pepper crackers
These fibre-packed crackers are healthy and delicious – and the brightly coloured dip only adds to the fun. Substitute McCain Diced Beetroot for the fresh beetroot to save on time.
Steak bruschetta with watermelon salsa
Watermelon is a quintessential summer fruit. Turn it into a salsa and serve on steak rolls that will have the kids licking their lips!
Vegetarian Christmas pie with onion gravy
This pie is every bit as flavoursome as a meat pie, but won’t leave you with that overfull feeling one usually feels after consuming meat. If you don’t have raw pumpkin and kale at hand, use McCain Pumpkin Chunks and McCain Garden Spinach instead.
Fresh watermelon cake
This would make a beautiful centrepiece on the kids’ holiday snack table. Best of all? They can be grab-and-go. Feel free to add any other fruits you have in your pantry or fridge.
Cheeseburgers
Who doesn’t love a classic cheeseburger? Top with condiments, gherkins and onion, and serve with McCain Fry Chips, Skinny Fries or Slap Chips for the ultimate meal.
