How hard is it to get your kids to eat salad? It used to be really hard for me, almost impossible. Then, I thought of making a salad with their favorite foods. I also gave up on those oily and creamy dressings and decided to use the natural fruit's juices instead. You can change up the salad to incorporate your kids' favorite foods. Try it and let us know how it goes.
