Makes 20 pinwheels
Ingredients
4 slices brown bread, crusts removed4 tsp cream cheese1 tsp mango chutney1 small tomato, deseeded and diced2 large slices smoked salmon
For decoration
1⁄4 cucumber2 peas1 cherry tomato1 sweetcorn kernelSalad cressCocktail sticks
Method
Cover the bread with cling film, then roll out thinly using a rolling pin.
For the cream cheese, mango and tomato pinwheels, take 2 slices of bread and spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on each slice, followed by the mango chutney. Sprinkle over the tomato.
For the salmon and cream cheese pinwheels, spread the remaining cream cheese over the bread, then cover with a layer of smoked salmon.
Rollup each slice of bread, then cut each one into 5 pinwheels. Arrange them to make the caterpillar’s body.
For the decoration, cut the cucumber into thick slices, then cut each slice into quarters, to make the caterpillar’s feet. Arrange them along the pinwheel body. Using short lengths of cocktail stick, attach 2 peas to the cherry tomato for the eyes, and 1 kernel of sweetcorn for the nose.
(Makesure the cocktail sticks are removed before eating.) Attach the face and feet to the caterpillar and add some cut salad cress for the grass.
