Shake-It-Up Kid Salad

We've done this lunch before. It was right about two years ago, actually, and it was a big hit with Will. So I decided to try again with both kids this past weekend. The idea comes from Family Fun magazine, though I can never find a link online for this... just the magazine tear-out from years ago.


Salad fixings:

First they whisked up the dressing (minus the chives 'cause the grocery store was out and I decided they weren't that relevant to kids).






Filling their shaker-bowls:









Then add a dollop of dressing.

Lids on tight... and shake, shake, shake!!





Dump into a big, shallow bowl...



...and lunch is served!



YUM! Involving kids in the preparation almost always helps them eat better.
