Simple House Salad
Romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots, and your choice of dressing. This is the salad that goes on the table alongside every protein in the catalog. Simple enough that a ten-year-old can assemble it, complete enough that adults consider it a real side. Keep it boring; that's the point.

Parent noteServe dressing on the side for picky eaters. A kid who rejects salad with dressing mixed in will often eat it with dressing on the side for dipping. Keep components simple and familiar.
