Youth Workshop: Slice & Toss – Hands-On Pizza & Salad PartyGet ready to roll, stretch, and toss! Join us for a fun, hands-on evening where you’ll team up with other youth to craft your own pizza masterpiece and a crunchy, colourful salad — all from scratch. Experiment with toppings, show off your pizza-stretching skills, and enjoy a meal you made with your group. Bring your appetite, your creativity, and your friends (or make some new ones!) for a night full of flavour, fun, and teamwork.
Participants will also receive $20 in Harvest Bucks! Redeem them for fresh eggs, vegetables, and fruit at participating locations throughout London and Middlesex County. For more info, visit: https://www.healthunit.com/harvest-bucks
This beginner-friendly workshop is all about creativity, teamwork, and tasty food — no cooking experience needed!
In this workshop, you will:
- Meet your group & connect: Kick off with a fun icebreaker to get to know your team and warm up for some hands-on action.
- Stretch & prep your dough: Learn how to turn a dough ball into a perfect pizza base, ready for your favourite toppings.
- Build your group pizza: Layer on sauce, cheese, and toppings, then bake a hot, delicious pizza to share.
- Create a fresh salad side: Chop, shred, and toss colourful ingredients like cucumbers, carrots, red onion, brussels sprouts, peppers, olives, and mixed greens — jump in or cheer on your friends as the salad comes together.
- Dig in & reflect: Enjoy the meal you made with your group, chat about your favourite flavours, and share what made the workshop most fun.
