1/4 cup cut-up vegetables (tomatoes, carrots, celery, radishes, and cucumbers)
1/4 cup torn or shredded lettuce
Salt and pepper, to taste
Step 1
Make the salad dressing by placing the liquid ingredients (olive oil and vinegar) and sugar in a pint container with a secure lid. Your child can shake it to mix up the dressing.
Step 2
Put handfuls of lettuce and veggies into a 9-ounce plastic container with a tight-fitting lid and show kids how to drizzle the dressing all over the top.
Step 3
Close the container and kids can "shake-it-silly" for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the ingredients are mixed and coated with dressing.
