Simple healthy salad recipe - easy to make with kids!

Looking for a way to teach your kids their way around the kitchen? How about getting your children more familiar with healthy recipes? Unhealthy foods that are filled with processed ingredients and high levels of sugar are hard to ignore - they are everywhere!

The branding of these foods is always fun and enticing to children - Fruit Loops, Lucky Charms, Oreos, Gushers, etc. The branding is full of bright colors, the packaging has games for children, and their commercials and marketing are always engaging and fun.

It’s time to get kids excited about making healthier choices when it comes to their diet. We can do this by improving their access to healthier foods and making the healthier options more fun and engaging. When your child plants a seed and watches it grow into a vegetable, they will feel accomplished. They will feel proud that they grew their vegetables right at home!

By allowing kids to participate in growing and making their food, they will be more inclined to eat healthily. Increasing the attractiveness of eating healthy will make it easy for kids to make healthier food choices on their own. Help create better habits for your children when it comes to their diet.

Now let’s transform this vegetable into a delicious and healthy meal that you can make together with your kids!
