Tips for cooking with Rad-Kids: 

 This recipe is a great opportunity to teach kids knife skills using the spider finger method.  Use the following steps:

• Right-handed* chefs: hold the knife softly in your right hand.
• Make "spider fingers" with your left hand by tucking your fingertips around the food you are holding. This protects your fingertips and allows your stronger knuckles to be the guide.  Helpful hint: don't let your fingers become a "squid" - where the fingertips "pinch" the food.
• Move the knife gently back and forth in a rocking motion. Don't try to chop fast or hard.  The knife should do the work for you. 

*Left-handed chefs should reverse the above.

Happy cooking!
