Salads are a staple of summer eating. Varieties of produce — from peaches to tomatoes — are at their ripest, tastiest best (not to mention their cheapest). Add in the fact that a good salad requires zero cooking just when it’s really hot, and I’m won over: I am a summertime salad-lover.
But I am a salad-lover who is also a mom of two. And when guests come over, they are often surprised to see me making salad for my kids — and more surprised to see the kids eating it.
How do I do it? The answer is actually simple: I make finger salads. Finger salads are a way to reframe your favorite greens in a way that appeals to kids’ primal eating skills, so there’s more to pick up, and less to stab at with a fork. Here’s how it works. |
