Hot Dog Car
Want to have some fun at lunch? Get your mini mechanics making these! This is a great way to get hands on with some salad ingredients in a fun way. You could also make some fruity traffic lights to go with it too (as pictured, but let's pretend they're not photographed upside down!).
Serves: 1
Prep: 5 Mins
Cooking Time: 20-30 Minutes
Ready In: 30 Mins
- 1 Sausage
- 1 Hotdog Bun
- 4 Slices Cucumber
- 2 Cherry Tomatoes, halved
- Cook your sausage per packets instructions.
- Put your hotdog sausage into the hotdog bun.
- Using cocktail sticks thread a slice of cucumber and tomato onto your hotdog bun to create wheels. I personally find this easier to do with 2 cocktail sticks (one front, one back) and allowing the child to thread the veggies onto either end, but if your hotdog bun is too wide then you may need a cocktail stick per corner.
