Ingredients[]
2 small cucumbers
1 tomato, chopped in to 1/2 inch or smaller pieces
1 cup lettuce, chopped in to 1/2 inch or smaller pieces
1/2 cup grapes (apples can be substituted if preferred or for children under 2) in to 1/2 inch or smaller pieces
14 oz chicken breast, cooked thoroughly and chopped in to ½ inch or smaller pieces
2 tsp olive oil
1 tb balsamic vinegar
1 tsp sugar
Supplies[]
Knife and cutting board

Measuring cups
Custard cup
Directions[]
Mix together lettuce, tomato, chicken, and grapes (or apples) in bowl and set aside.
Mix oil, vinegar, and sugar in custard cup and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Pour dressing in larger bowl and toss.
To prepare the planes: Take each cucumber and cut a ¼ inch thick
slice along one side. Keep the piece you have removed, as it will serve
as the wings of the plane.
Cut off one end of the cucumber and cut in half so you have 2 ½ circles.
Using a spoon, scoop out the soft insides of the cucumber whose top has been removed.
Add salad mixture to hollowed out cucumber
Place the flat "wing" that was previously the top of the cucumber crosswise across the top so as to create two wings.
Take one of the ½ circlesand place it perpendicular to the plane at the tail.
*Parents should do all the cooking and chopping, but children can mix
the ingredients, assemble the planes, spoon in the salad, and add the
wings and tail.
