Salads Your Kids Will Love – Four-year-olds are notorious for asking for one meal and then once dinner is on the table, asking for a different one. At least that is how mine is. In our home, we give her the same dinner we’re eating. If she chooses to not eat it all at the table with us, she can eat it as a snack later if she’s hungry. Vegetables are the tough part, and we’re always trying to find new veggies that she enjoys. Thankfully we’ve stumbled on two colorful salads that she loves eating as well as making!

Thankfully we have a Kroger close to our house that we love shopping at. Our favorite part about shopping there is the ClickList program where you can order your groceries the night before and pick them up on the way home from the library the next morning! Makes it super easy to stick to our meal plan and budget. Learn more about savings at Kroger here. If you are looking for meal planning help check out Tyson’s calendar here.
Kroger also has all our favorite brands (including Hillshire Farm® and Tyson®) to make our favorite meals. Tyson is also offering $6 towards a movie ticket at the register when you buy any 5 of these participating products in 1 transaction: State Fair® Corn Dogs, Tyson® Chicken Nuggets and Strips, Hillshire Farm® Lunchmeat, Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage, Jimmy Dean® Frozen Breakfast, Jimmy Dean® Fully Cooked Sausage and Simple Scrambles™ products between 7/25/18-8/8/18 (excludes online purchases)
We’ve made lots of combinations of salads over the years, and we’ve found two that really please each of us. The best part is that they’re super easy and quick to make!
Mandarin Chicken Salad
Ingredients (in order of how you can add them to a jar for lunch the next day):
- Salad Dressing (we use Classic Sweet Dijon but poppy seed would be great, too)
- Blueberries
- Mandarin Oranges
- Romaine Lettuce (add spinach or kale for adults)
- Tyson® Frozen Grilled and Ready Chicken Strips
- Sunflower Seeds
Strawberry Ham Salad
Ingredients (in order of how you can add them to a jar for lunch the next day):
- Salad Dressing (we use Classic Sweet Dijon but a raspberry vinaigrette would be great, too)
- Strawberries
- Red Grapes (halved)
- Romaine Lettuce (add spinach or kale for adults)
- Hillshire Farm® Smoked Ham (chopped)
- Pecan halves
One of our favorite parts of these salads, besides that our daughter enjoys making them, is the ease of taking them for leftovers to work and school the next day! We layer them in the jars after we make them for dinner and our lunch is set for the next day!
