A Hit with the Kids ~ Salad Bar

Ok, my salad bar looked nothing like this,
but the kids loved it anyway

Sitting around last night, getting hungry, I realized that we didn't take out anything for dinner. Foraging through the fridge, we had tons of components for salad. I love salad. The kids love salad. The husband loves salad. The problem is that we don't all love the same ingreadents. Solution, salad bar.

While the husband grilled up 100% beef patties on the grill, I chopped various veggies into plastic storage bowls. Now when dinner was over, I just had to cover and put them away, less cleaning. We had baby spinach, grape tomatoes, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, celery, carrots, cucumbers, small mozzarella balls, onions, an avocado, chopped hard boiled eggs, and a jar of banana peppers. After a sprinkle of taco seasoning on the beef, i chopped them up too.

The kids loved it. No complaints of onions touching other foods. They even had seconds. Clean up was just topping the containers with covers and tossing in the fridge. Today I look forward to a big salad for lunch too.
