I am so excited about this! Salads are big in my house as meals and sides. My kids both eat salads w/ veggies but they never wanted salad. Well yesterday I called my son into the kitchen to help me make the salad. He tore the red leaf lettuce and romaine lettuce, cut the radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and garlic. Then he made the dressing(a quick run around the salad bowl w/ balsamic vinegar and 2-3 runs around w/ EVOO-some salt/pepper and oregano) All of this was done under my supervision. Then I tossed it and tasted.(those of you who know me understand my flair for drama) And w/ such excitement I exclaimed"Oh my goodness, thats great." Well my little love said ,"I want some, I want some!!" So before he tasted the lettuce he asked what it tasted like and I told him like the delicious dressing. So he tasted and loved it, even the softer darkest colored leaves and proceeded to eat a whole bowl. He had another bowl tonight also.
Besides all of the health and detox benefits of veggies, esp. greens and brightly colored ones, it makes life a little easier when I do not have to cook different meals. Now he could easily join in on a salad and meat lunch and dinner at home or on the go.
