Easy, Delicious and Fast Turkey Caesar Salad Wraps that are Kid Friendly.

Today our Jr Chefs enjoyed making Turkey Caesar Wraps courtesy of EtTu Salads. The moms were a little surprised to see salad on the menu and some even admitted that they had not yet introduced salad as a food choice item to their children. When asked why not, the common response was it had not even crossed their mind as a "kids" food. While checking out the package, they were pleasantly surprised to learn that ALL of the ingredients required to make this salad were provided in this grab and go complete EtTu Salad Kit. All you need to do is add the lettuce! They were eager to give it a try and most of all to see if their little ones would eat it?

 

We started off with washing the lettuce. Since we were outdoors we got a little innovative and used spray bottles to complete the task at hand. The kids took their job seriously. Just look at the focus and concentration making sure each piece was properly washed. Spray bottle triggers are great for working on fine motor skills.


Next was tearing the leaves into small pieces. Even our youngest chefs could help to complete this job and there was plenty of leaves to go around. This was a terrific way to keep all siblings occupied, each doing something at the same time and not having to wait their turn.


We then added the convenient ingredients from the kit - multi grain croutons, real bacon bits, Parmesan cheese and creamy Caesar dressing. Voila Easy Peasy!


We decided to get a little fancy and dress it up with chunks of turkey breast, cucumbers, and fresh lemons. The kids had a blast squeezing the wedges and tossing the salad with the tongs to mix it all up.


We grabbed the wraps and stuffed all of the goodness into them - Lunch was served.


Now came the real test, would they eat it? Success! They wasted no time shoving the wraps into their mouths and their messy faces were a testimonial that our Turkey Caesar wraps were a hit.


 


After all of our "hard" work we had some outdoor fun with spray bottle water fights and a dip in the pool.

 
 

 Thank you EtTu for an easy, delicious and fast meal that all of our participants enjoyed!
