Kid-Friendly Tips For Parents

1- Your kids may still be learning to like foods all mixed up. In that case, use small containers or silicone cups to separate the food ingredients and let your kids do the mix themselves.

2- Keeping the sauce on the side is always a great idea to let the option in order to taste first and dip if preferred. Kids love dressings, and it is powerful to get kids who “don’t like vegetables” to get started.

3- Involve your kids in the preparation by letting them choose the shape of the pasta, make the vinaigrette, or simply pick 2-3 ingredients they want in their salad.

This can convince any reluctant eater to give it a try!
