This isn't so much of a recipie as it is a healthy dinner idea. Anyway, it's Wednesday here in the O'Brien Shire so that means my 6 & 7 year old culinary students are charged with cleaning out the crispers and making anything their crazy little imaginations can muster. Together they made 10 different delicious versions of this salad. Everybody in the pool! Excellent work kiddos!
