Tulip garden

May 8, 2013 by Gosia

Preparation time: 10min   |   Servings: 1

I’ve bought a bouquet of tulips recently and placed them in a vase on our dining table, so we can feel that the spring is approaching! When my daughter saw it, she was delighted. She loves flowers and likes to watch them grow in our garden. She said that this bouquet was beautiful and that she would take good care of it. How nice of her :) Then I asked her if she wanted cucumber tulips for snack and the answer was ‘yes’ of course. She loved them! Sometimes, simple things can make little ones so happy :) Tulip garden snack for kids - cucumber garnished with tuna

Ingredients

  • 1 cucumber or 2 mini cucumbers
  • 2-3 tablespoons of canned tuna
  • 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
  • slices of red, yellow and orange pepper
  • 1 carrot
  • chive
  • parsley

Did you know that in Persia, to give a red tulip was to declare your love? The black center of the red tulip was said to represent the lover’s heart, burned to a coal by love’s passion. To give a yellow tulip was to declare your love hopelessly and utterly.

Preparation

Step1 In a bowl, mix tuna, mayonnaise, parsley and chive. You may add salt and paper to adjust to your taste.Tulip garden snack for kids - cucumber garnished with tuna step1

Step2 Cut tulip shapes from the red, yellow and orange pepper, using a cookie cutter or a knife. Make a flower from the carrot. Use the pencil sharpener to cut a big thin slice of carrot (the best is the big pencil sharpener, always useful to have one only for cooking/decoration). Take the carrot slice and turn it gently around to make a flower. Use a small pepper circle to make the middle part of the flower.Tulip garden snack for kids - cucumber garnished with tuna step2

Step3 Cut cucumber(s) into few parts to use them as tulip’s stem. Scoop out the center of each part leaving a hollow in the middle. Cut off cucumber skin on both sides to make leaves. Garnish with the mixture from Step1.Tulip garden snack for kids - cucumber garnished with tuna step3
