10 summer salad recipes to share with your kids

06/22/15 | Food & Recipes, Healthy Eating

Do you ever get sick of having salad with the same toppings and dressing? It is sometimes hard to get your kids to eat salads (or any sort of vegetables) especially if your salad is made the same way every time. Mix it up with some fun toppings that the kids will love! You can still eat healthy while satisfying your kids appetite and avoid making a boring, unsatisfying salad. Here are 10 summer salad recipes to try at home or pack in a container for an on-the-go lunch!

AVOCADO STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD

 

1. Egg and Tuna Salad

Ingredients: Bibb lettuce, roasted potatoes, steamed green beans, halved cherry tomatoes, tuna, hard boiled eggs, white beans, vinaigrette, basil

2. Strawberry Arugula Salad

Ingredients: Arugula, strawberries, toasted (or candied) walnuts, goat cheese, balsamic vinaigrette

3. Salmon Caesar Salad

Ingredients: Romaine lettuce, grilled salmon, pan-roasted chick peas, shredded parmesan cheese, caesar dressing

4. Steak Salad

Ingredients: Iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, grilled steak, croutons, olive oil and vinegar

5. Spinach Salad

Ingredients: Baby spinach, dried cranberries, hard-boiled eggs, toasted pecans, crumbled bacon, avocado, poppy seed dressing

6. Chinese Chicken Salad

Ingredients: Napa cabbage, mandarin oranges, steamed sugar snap peas, grilled chicken, sliced almonds, asian vinaigrette

7. Greek Salad

Ingredients: Romaine lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, sliced cucumbers, raw green bell peppers, feta cheese, olives, dill, herb vinaigrette

8. Taco Salad

Ingredients: Iceberg lettuce, corn, black beans, crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheddar, sliced avocado, cilantro, ground beef, cilantro-lime dressing

9. Pear Salad

10. Cucumber Salad

TOMATO, CUCUMBER, AVOCADO SALAD

If you are really trying to eat healthy, you can try swapping candied nuts for raw nuts. Be careful with what dressings you choose to add- most dressings add a lot of calories! Make sure you are not over portioning the toppings to maintain a healthy salad.
