Let’s make a salad
A salad is a light dish made by mixing several foods; it can be made of vegetables, fruit or meat. A salad of raw vegetables has lots of vitamins, so it is good for the body. We wash the vegetables well under running water, cut them up and mix gently so they are not crushed. We do not make this salad long in advance, but shortly before the meal. To keep longer, vegetables need a cool, dark place.
You need: tomato, cucumber, herbs, vegetable oil, a little salt, a chopping board, a child-safe plastic knife, a big bowl. Steps: 1) Wash your hands and the vegetables. 2) An adult cuts the vegetables into big pieces; you chop them smaller on the board with the plastic knife. 3) Put them in the bowl and mix gently. 4) Add oil and salt and prepare it just before serving. Safety: only adults use sharp knives and the stove; work as an adult shows you and do not get distracted; wash the knife and board afterwards.
