Create a Christmas Wreath Salad

What You Need:

• Large, round platter
• Strainer 
• 6-8 cups of romaine lettuce or other salad mixture
• 6-10 baby tomatoes, sliced in half
• ⅛ cup of cheddar cheese, cubed into centimeters
• ½ cup of colored peppers, deseeded and sliced
• 1 tablespoon of sliced almonds
• Any other healthy garnish your learner would like to add to the salad

What You Do: 

1. Have your child help prepare all the salad ingredients. For younger learners, have them gather the ingredients and tools, and then help you deseed the peppers and wash the veggies in a strainer.
2. Have your child place the lettuce around the platter in a circular fashion. Tell them the salad should look like a wreath or a doughnut with a hole in the middle.
3. Tell your child to spread out the prepared salad toppings on top of the salad wreath.

Enjoy this Christmas wreath salad soon after making it, or cover it and place it in the refrigerator. Serve it within two days.
