Kid's Cobb Salad Courtesy of SHIP

(recipe, Williamsburg Farmers Market)

Introduction

The School Health Initiative Program will be demonstrating this recipe on Saturday, June 12, 2010 at the chef's tent for Children's Day at the Market.

Ingredients

1. 1½ cups fresh, local mixed spring greens (spinach, romaine, boston bibb, iceberg, cos, endive, etc.), coarsely chopped or shredded
2. 2 oz. chicken, cooked, diced
3. ¼ cup carrots, raw, shredded
4. ¼ cup tomatoes, raw, diced
5. ¼ cp Mexicali corn (or fresh corn from the Farmer’s Market, cut from the cob)
6. 1 oz. cheddar (or other) cheese, reduced fat, shredded
7. ½ oz. black olives, ripe, sliced
8. 2 Tbsp. salad dressing, ranch, low fat

Steps

1. Bundle, rather than mix, the ingredients on top of the salad greens for kid pleasing presentation. Kids enjoy the chopped and diced, easy-to-eat ingredients. Ranch dressing is a kid fave, but there are many great reduced fat or “lite” choices out there – have a dressing taste test!
