Sophia's Super Salad Lunch

Our granddaughter Sophia has designed a Super Salad. She was so proud of it she wanted to come over and make it for me.I made a surprise to accompany the salad.
Hot Chip Butties
What a delicious lunch.
Here is Sophia in the throes of preparation


1 Tomato diced
6 slices Cucumber diced
½ Capsicum deseeded and finely sliced
8 slices Garlic Salami diced


Coleslaw
1 ½ half cups finely sliced cabbage
½ carrot grated
½ cup sliced red cabbage
1 celery stalk sliced
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
2 tablespoons chopped chives
½ cup snow pea shoots cut in half
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
½ chopped chili


Combine all ingredients

Dressing
3 parts Olive Oil
1 part White Wine vinegar
6 drops Tabasco
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper


Combine all ingredients

Make the coleslaw
Add tomato, salami, capsicum and cucumber


Drizzle the dressing over the top Toss and serve

Now how to make the Hot Chip Butties
This was my favourite school lunch.My Mother would only let me have them no more than once a month. And I had to make them...there was no way that she was getting up and making chips before school. It was the only time there was no problem getting me out of bed. This is not a healthy option but absolutely fabulous
There is one special ruleYou must use white sandwich bread and butter not marge!!!There is a slight healthy part they are cooked in just a little oil in the oven instead of deep frying


Peel and slice 2 large potatoes
Cut into chips
Pop into microwave with a little water for 2 minutes on high
Remove, drain and dry.
Toss with some rice bran oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper
Place on a tray and cook about 20 minutes in a hot oven 210c
Remove from tray
Drain on paper towel They should be lovely and golden
Butter white sandwich bread
Lay hot chips on top
Cover with a lid of bread
Cut into halves
Wrap in greaseproof paper

Ready when you are.

Here's our clever girl with her lunch

Nothing much left.

Thank you Sophia
It was delicious
