Ploughman's Lunch

Note/Suggestion: In the United Kingdom, a ploughman's lunch traditional consists of a piece of cheese, pickles, salad and or fruit, relish, bread and sometimes a hard boiled egg or piece of roast from the night before's dinner.  My children love this style of lunch, it is like a homemade "lunchable."
Serves 1, increase amount of each ingredient as per the number of children you are making it for.

Suggested Ingredients:

  • 1 cooked chicken leg or thigh, cold or 4 oz cooked chicken, sliced
  • 1 piece of cheese, about 1 oz
  • 2 small pickles
  • 4 mini carrots
  • 6 black olives pitted
  • small whole wheat roll or 4-6 multi grain crackers
  • 1 small bunch of grapes
  • 2 Tbsp Chutney or Relish. Traditional Ploughman's lunches include Branston's Pickles.

Directions:

  1. In a reusalbe container with a lid, arrange the lunch. Using a container with multiple compartments helps, but is not entirely necessary.
  2. Put the chutney or relish in a small container so that is does not spread through out the meal.
Tip: Change the components of this meal based on your child's likes and dislikes. The ideas is to have a meat or egg; piece of cheese; fruits and vegetables; relish or condiment; and a piece of bread or crackers.  You can use steak or pork instead of the chicken and any combination of cold/raw fruits and vegetables your child likes, even a small garden salad is a good choice.  Try mango or apple chutney on the side for a sweet savory addition to your child's meal.
