Professional athletes may be able to snack with impunity, but here at
pinkbunny towers, we can’t get away with such behaviour. so what better
tribute to the mighty england footballing squad, then, than a delicious
healthful salad? mm, mm.

Ingredients laid out: bagged salad, carrots, brioche rolls, cherry tomatoes, cold meats, olives and soft cheese

The shopping! lots of stuff for a tasty salad that will stand astride the
food groups like a proud footballing lion.
After all that shopping on a hot day, I’m looking forward to a relaxing
evening preparing…

I forgot walnuts! those pesky youthful footballers!

A 200g bag of walnut pieces for baking, salads and cooking

Run to the co-op for emergency walnuts.

Return home but stop to phone relatives to wish happy birthdays and check on
MOT successes.

Three sugar art pens in brown and black, and a knife loaded with cream cheese

The salad footballers will need lots of eyes. two varieties here: olive and
cream cheese and rice paper with edible ink pupils.

Four numbered steps covering a cherry tomato in white to make a tiny England-flag football

St George’s cherry tomatoes! the obvious salad garnish.

1. make a sellotape cross on each tomato

2. smear cream cheese over the top

3. lift the edges of the tape up to the centre

4. lift tape upwards

5. better than car flags

The finished product. This is not the greatest world cup salad in the world,
this is just a tribute.

(The football is made from a white malteser with coloured rice paper,
because I couldn’t find any of those mini-mozzarella balls anywhere… it’s
pudding!)

I’ve had some marshmallows for dinner instead, as I can’t bear to eat their
little creamy olive eyes.
