Salads might be my new favorite thing. I know I said before that they were too much work, but I might be changing my tune. Turns out I just wasn’t making the right kinds of salads. While this one did have a seemingly long list of ingredients, it went together really quickly, and was oh my gosh, so delicious! I don’t think I’ve ever really stuffed my face with salad before, but I definitely scarfed this one down.

Get your kids in the kitchen! How they can help make this Asian Steak Salad:

The more you get your kids involved in what goes down in the kitchen, the more likely they will be to eat the meal! Here are some simple ways that your kids can help you cook: 

• Kids aged 1-3 can help you wash and dry the produce and pick the cilantro and mint leaves off the stems.  They can also help you measure out ingredients for the dressing and shake the mason jar.
• Kids aged 4-6 can help you cut the green onions, cilantro, mint, and mango. They can also help measure and mix together the marinade for the steak and assemble the salads.
• Kids aged 7-10+ can help you slice the steak after you grill it.

*Please note that these recommendations are generalized, and to please use your personal discretion with your child’s skill level. And always, always supervise! Read more about how to have your children help you in the kitchen.
