Notes
Tips: Make it child friendly! Simply skewer chunks of Edam, melon, cucumber and raw red pepper onto cocktail sticks and serve as delicious mini kebabs with wholemeal pitta breads.
For healthy garlic toasts simply griddle or toast slices of thick rustic bread. Rub each side with a peeled garlic clove and serve with salad.
