Apple salad

There are three reasons for creating this apple salad for fussy eaters:

1. Often finding enough foods to fill up our child is a challenge. Having some additional things like fruit to eat can help get the tummy full.

2. We would love our child to eat salad but it’s just not happening. Adding some apple, if it’s familiar, may make the lettuce (or other salad item) more palatable.

3. Serving the same foods over and over is boring for everyone. Being able to introduce some new options to the tired favourites is a win. Hence, new combinations!

If our child is very uncomfortable around food, then perhaps the apple and the lettuce need to be side-by-side rather than mixed.

If our child is able to pick the apple out, then that’s great.

Whether the apple and the lettuce are mixed or separate, we are still showing our child that the two foods go together, plus building a familiarity with the lettuce.
