Salad for Toddlers

Getting toddlers to eat salad isn't always the easiest task to accomplish, but here's something you might want to try.

Cut the greens and other vegetables into tiny pieces, then mix with your favorite whole foods dressing, such as The Pioneer Woman's Homemade Ranch Dressing recipe.

This ensures that each salad bite is dressed and I've noticed that toddlers enjoy a salad more this way. Top with croutons and you're set!

Ingredients

* Greens, cut up into ½ inch pieces
* Other vegetables, cut up into ½ inch pieces
* Salad dressing
* Croutons

Directions

1. Combine all vegetables in a bowl.

2. Pour on salad dressing and mix well with vegetables.

3. Top with croutons.

Kids love eating salad that is dressed in each bite!
