Three Child Friendly Spring Salads

By

Three Child Friend Salads in Muffin Cups

Spring is a wonderful time of year to create simple salad meals for lunch or dinner.  In the first muffin cup, JDaniel was served a tomato and strawberry salad. The second cup contains a sweet and sour slaw. The third cup contains a carrot and raisin salad.

Each of the salads is super easy to make. JDaniel helped me grate the cucumber for the slaw and the carrots for the carrot raisin salad.

I think I  mentioned before that JDaniel is not a super huge fan of celery. I decided to serve it with a spinach dip thinking that he would spread the dip on the celery and then eat it. He really loves spinach dip. Well, he tried it on the celery and decided that he liked it served on his finger instead.

The salads were a big hit with him. He inhaled them and asked for more.

How can you make the salads featured in this post?

Here are the recipes:

Strawberry and Tomato Salad

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of strawberries
  • 2 cups of grape tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons of honey

Directions:

1. Cut the tomatoes and strawberries into small pieces.

2. Drizzle honey on the tomato and strawberry mixture.

3. Serve.

Sweet and Sour  Cucumber Slaw

Ingredients:

  • 2 large cucumbers, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
Directions:
1. Toss all the ingredients listed above.

Carrot and Raisin Salad

Ingredients:

  • 4 large carrots, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons of mayo
  • 3/4 cup of raisins

Directions:

1. Toss all the ingredients listed above.
These salads were made to be served to JDaniel and me for lunch. You would have to double or triple the ingredients to serve these spring salads to your family.

  1. I’m getting hungry already when I read the recipes for your salads. I have to try the sweet and sour cucumber slaw as we don’t have strawberries here and ‘Timan’ keeps telling me that raisins are ants. 😉

  5. This is brilliant! That’s a great photo! I enjoy carrot raisin salad. I’ll have to try some of the others too.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Blessings,

  9. He liked it on his finger instead, lol! Too cute. Love the three flowers this week!

  13. This just put such a smile on my face when I opened your blog! That is the sweetest muffin tin idea! I also have never tried tomatoes and strawberries together. I’m not a huge fan of honey but my husband and girls are. I’ll definitely have to try this out on the next warm day we have. I think they’ll love it. Missed seeing your pretty blog while I was sick!

  14. You are so creative!! I just throw down some carrot sticks on a napkin, and I wonder why they don’t want to eat their vegetables. You inspire me to try harder.

  16. Your Muffin Tin Meals always look so creative and tasty! I like that this one features salads- I might need to try this on my own little veggie-phobe! Thanks for sharing!

  19. not a fan of celery either… nor carrot raisin salad… but, they are too cute not to try the others 🙂

  22. Thanks for sharing. The plate looks so attractive. 😀

  25. Thanks for the ideas – always looking for new ways to feed kiddos fresh produce 🙂

  30. I just love how you are so creative with the food! I would never be able to think about these amazing creations. Bravo!
