Garden Salad with Fresh Fruit

By Heather Wirtz August 16, 2016
This salad can be made with any of your favorite veggies and fruits, and for a heartier meal you could also add grains, meats, fish or shrimp. We have large dinner salads often in our house. My kiddos love salad and always come up with new things to try. If you have a picky eater, it is simple to make little changes to each salad so that everyone is happy and if you let them build their own... there is a better chance they could be willing to try a few new foods.

Ingredients:
Lettuce or salad mix, we used butter lettuce 
Cucumber, peeled and sliced
Carrots, thinly sliced
Fresh peaches, washed, pitted and sliced 
Fresh blueberries, washed
Your favorite salad dressing or oil and vinegar

Directions:
  1. Build salad starting with lettuce, cucumbers and carrots and then top with peaches and blueberries.
  2. Drizzle your favorite dressing over the salad and enjoy!
