Carrot Salad

I made this quick and simple carrot salad for my family and they loved it! It is becoming a go-to side dish in our house so I served it at lunch today. Give it a try and let me know if it was a hit in your household!

Recipe:

1. Wash 6 big carrots (your little one will love to help scrub them with a veggie brush)

2. Use a peeler to peel all 6 carrots (if they are old enough, let your little one help peel)

3. In a bowl, mix about 1.5 Tbsp of Dijon mustard

4. Stir in 1 tsp of honey

5. Stir in 2 Tbsp of olive oil

6. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the bowl and stir

7. Stir in the carrots, top with chopped fresh parsley (optional) and salt to taste

Enjoy!

P.S. Pictured with carrot salad is nan bread and honey Greek yogurt (1 tsp honey to 1 cup Greek yogurt), and wild rice. And as always, if your little one tends to reject flavors like mustard or honey, you can start will less and slowly increase the amount each time you serve the dish.

How to Food Chain with Strawberries

Is your little one not too wild about strawberries but loves blueberries? Try food chaining!

Food chaining strawberries is easiest coming from another berry. Think through is there a berry your little one will already accept? Try cutting the strawberry up to be a similar size to that other berry. Then try mixing a small amount of those cut-up strawberries with the berry your little one already accepts.

It’s ok if they pick out the strawberries. Continue to slowly increase how many strawberries are mixed in each time you serve it. Sometimes using a bridge can be helpful too like yogurt, whipped cream, or peanut butter (strawberries + PB are the new banana + PB, trust me!)
