- Use this recipe as a blueprint and add whatever you like! A classic house salad is typically made with crisp lettuce, sliced veggies, tomatoes, and sometimes shredded cheese but you can totally make it your own. We love to add croutons and avocado and serve it with my creamy avocado ranch dressing.
- Serve the ingredients for this salad buffet-style. If you have trouble getting your kids to eat veggies, try having them help slice the veggies up (using an age-appropriate knife) and then make their own salad to go with dinner. Does it guarantee that they’ll actually eat the veggies? No, but it might make them more likely to give them a try!
