This is a great summer meal for kids. Tons of vegetable goodness, plenty protein, colorful and lots of entertainment value, too. (Also fun and yummy for grownups!) You can halve this recipe.
Ingredients
- 6 large white or yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and diced shopping list
- 2 medium-sized Vidalia or other sweet onions, diced shopping list
- 2 dark-green celery stalks, de-veined and chopped fine shopping list
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped fine shopping list
- Approx. 1/2 cup (more or less to taste) Hellmann's mayonnaise (do NOT use diet or low-fat versions, and NO Miracle-Whip!) shopping list
- Small amount of salt to taste shopping list
- Generous amount of coarse-ground or cracked black pepper to taste shopping list
- 3 large red sweet peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded shopping list
- 6 long, slender carrot sticks (for masts) shopping list
- slivered almonds (for pirates/sailors/explorers/battleship guys, etc.) shopping list
How to make it
- Steam the diced potatoes until tender (just a few minutes!) Chill to room temperature
- Combine all ingredients except peppers, carrots and almonds in a bowl
- Refrigerate the mixture while cutting and seeding the peppers and preparing the carrots and almonds
- Fill each half red pepper with a heaping helping of potato salad. Poke a carrot mast into each boat. Provide each kid with a small dish of almond slices to act as characters; they can be pirates, sailors, explorers, or whoever your kids' imaginations decide.
