Ingredients:
2 cups tortellini (cheese, meat, vegetable - your choice!), cooked, drained and cooled |
1/2 pound mozzarella cheese ( bocconcini or cut into 1-inch cubes) |
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes |
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces |
2 celery stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 cup artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed |
3/4 cup black olives, pitted |
1/2 cup cucumber peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces |
1/2 cup roasted red peppers, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces |
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves |
1/4 cup pepperoni slices |
1/4 cup italian dressing |
Directions:
1. Place each type of ingredient in a separate small bowl and line up bowls on a table or countertop that's within reach for all the kids.
2. Using age-appropriate skewers (kebab skewers, disposable wooden skewers, coffee stir-sticks or straws), have each kid personalize their own totem pole by adding ingredients of their choice onto the skewer. Make colorful patterns; see who can fit the most ingredients onto their totem pole; count pieces as each is added. Dip totem poles in Italian dressing and eat!
3. Cook's Note: use all or some of the above ingredients when making this recipe.
