Kids in the Kitchen: Bagel Snake

Ingredients:

1 mini bagel
1⁄2 cup canned chunk light tuna, drained
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 small stalk celery, diced
1 small strip red bell pepper or carrot

1 cup blueberries

1⁄2 cup plain nonfat yogurt

Instructions:

Slice bagel, then cut each slice in half for a total of four semicircles. In a small bowl, combine tuna with mayonnaise and celery. Spread over each bagel semicircle. Wrap each of the four parts in plastic wrap. Pack two blueberries for the eyes, and a carrot or red pepper strip for a tongue. Your child can assemble the snake in class by connecting each of the bagel parts. On the side, pack remaining blueberries with yogurt for dipping.
