Calling this a recipe is probably a bit of a stretch really! But I am making my way through all the recipes that will be in the menu planner app and making sure they have a photo and a post of their own.
You don’t have to use chicken sausages either, more often we have your standard sausages, but I really like the chicken satay sausages, so will buy plain chicken for the kids and satay for Mr I every so often.
This what I describe as a self serve meal. We put the sausages on the plate and then the kids can choose the salad they would like to eat from communal plates on the table. I find these types of meals work really well for kids – they feel a level of control over what they are eating. I make sure some items every child will eat.
Chicken Sausages and Salad
Ingredients:
- 16 sausages (This feeds our family of 7, you may like to reduce this number if your family is smaller.)
- 1/2 lettuce
- 1 red capsicum
- 3 large carrots
- 1 cucumber
- 2 tomatoes
Method:
I like to cook the sausages on the BBQ during summer time, but they can be cooked in a frying pan or under a grill. They only take about 15 minutes to cook so this is a very quick meal to prepare and cook.
1. Heat BBQ.
2. While this is happening, begin preparing the salad. The kids can help with this by:
- Tearing up lettuce in to chunks .
- Chopping carrot carrot.
- Slicing cucumber thinly.
- Cutting up capsicum into sticks.
- Cutting tomatoes into wedges.
3.Turn sausages frequently so that they are evenly browned.
The yellowy looking ones are the satay ones.
4. Serve sausages with salad once cooked.
My kids, if allowed would eat sausages and salad every second night! Do your kids love sausages too?
