What salads will your dcs eat?

[WashedUpDriedOut]

As the weather gets warmer, I need some salad inspiration they both the dcs and I can enjoy.

What favourites do your dcs like?

Tomatoes (dc2 only)
Cucumber
Carrot sticks
Cress
That's it.

They like cucumber slices or grated carrot with sweetcorn
They arent really into salax

my dd likes spinach and watermelon in hers. She also ate salad nicoise without the tuna and olives the other day. She loves homemade croutons with a salad too.

We just eat simple salads
cucumber, Tom's, red, yellow, orange peppers all chopped up with iceberg lettuce and watercress and red and white onions.

Salads with fruit in - mango or raspberrys or orange segments go down well (not all at once) There's a lovely one with raw broccoli cranberries, bacon and a sweet dressing too although it's so full of calories it kind of defeats the whole purpose of a healthy salad

Roast chicken with assorted salad (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, olives, peppers, carrot) DD is veggie and eats everything, boys are much fussier with veg!
DD likes roasted butternut squash and feta salad, she also likes falafel and houmous with spinach in a wrap. She also likes mozzarella with tomatoes and pesto.
Potato salad.
We all like homemade coleslaw.
Ploughman’s - ham/chunk of cheese with crusty roll, pickles and salad.

Greek salad with pita and tzatsiki dip.
Any meat with corn on the cob for the boys.
Tuna pasta salad
Couscous with veggies mixed in

I think DS8 would probably enjoy a chicken Caesar salad, or anything that's basically meat, cheese and carbs with a few leaves.

Most kids don't regard salads as sustenance though. Once when we got back from a holiday I made a lovely salad with lentils, feta, pomegranate seeds and toasted walnuts. All things he loves. He broke down in tears when he realised that was dinner (he was very tired, in his defence).

Greek salad
Caesar salad
Coleslaw
Chopped carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers
Crunchy cauliflower salad

My three 2,4 and 6 will eat
Cucumber
Tomato
Any lettuce
Onion
Sweetcorn
Grated carrot / sticky
Feta cheese Greek salad
Coleslaw type salads
Tuna salad
Potato salad

I do really lucky they eat most fruit and veg

My boys both love smoked mackerel with a salad.
DS2 will eat anything.
