Green Salad my kids will eat and ask for seconds!




O.K.  This is a simple green salad that is open to many, many variations.  The secret to getting my kids to love it, dried cranberries.
I start with mixed spring or baby greens add some cucumber, celery, bell peppers.  Then I add sliced apples, fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, whatever I have in the fridge).  Then I throw in some dried cranberries and raisins, chopped dried apricots are also nice.  Toss in some toasted sunflower seeds, or pecans, or walnuts etc.....   Pour on a vinaigrette dressing of your choice and you have a healthy side dish or throw in some chicken and make it a main.
