Rainbow Tartine

MyScoop strongly encourages you to play with your food! This beautiful display of fruit and vegetable tartines is as delicious as it is pretty, and a healthy choice for lunch or dinner. This rainbow tartine is also a perfect party appetizer.

The tartine is a classic French breakfast choice, an open-faced piece of bread topped with butter. Although it shines most in France as a small lunch plate topped with fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and/or meat. Tartine literally means a ‘piece of bread with something on top’, they can be sweet or savory. To indulge in this delightful food and to make it as pretty as a picture, I arranged each tartine by color spectrum.

Another plus about this tartine – make food into a rainbow and I guarantee your child will be interested in eating it. This tartine makes food fun and it shows adults and children how many colorful fruits and vegetables our earth produces for us to eat.
