A Simple Finger Food For Baby with a Russian Influence
Following yesterday’s post about dill, we received a message this morning from Marianne in New York, US. She told us
My husband is of Russian descent and I’ve used many of his family’s traditional recipes to cook for my own children. I thought your readers might like to try this simple salad recipe that uses dill, which my baby enjoyed this summer when he started finger foods.
It’s very simple – all you do is take a small carrot, a small wedge of pumpkin and a piece of cucumber (about the same size as the carrot). Peel them, then cut everything into dice.
Steam the carrot and pumpkin until tender (but not mushy), then cool.
Mix the cooked vegetables with the cucumber, then stir in enough plain yogurt to coat all the cubes.
Finally, mix in some finely chopped, fresh dill – the anount you use depends on your baby’s tastes, so you might want to start with just a little.
Chill for at least an hour, then serve. It’s healthy, nutritious and SO easy!
Thank you for sharing, Marianne – that sounds yummy and we’ll be giving it a try as soon as our weather warms up a little!
Please do keep your dill baby food ideas coming in!
