Looking for ways to get your cutie pies to eat more veggies every day? Make healthy eating fun with Salad on a Stick! Sometimes you need creativity with the little ones and give them an incentive to eat their daily allotment of plants, so get creative in the kitchen! Maybe if I served my salad on a stick, I might have eaten more veggies as a kid. I probably would have just eaten more Doritos but we all can dream.
This is such a simple yet fun recipe that really doesn’t need a lot of explanation. All you have to do is place all of your salad ingredients onto a stick (I know, what a novel concept with a title of Salad on a Stick) but what ingredients you do use is up to you!
