Cucumber dip
We can add cucumber to a variety of foods to create a dip. Yoghurt, cream cheese or hummus, for example.
If our child prefers crunchy then using the skin of the cucumber only may be helpful.
Conversely, if green is a big stumbling block, we can peel and then chop or grate the cucumber.
Using a favoured food paired with a new food can be an easier way to introduce something. I would advise as always to make very small quantities and also to add nano amounts of cucumber to begin with if it’s not a favourite food.
