Rainbow Veggie Salad with Orange Vinaigrette Dressing

Comments (1)

My 5-year old daughter visited an urban farm a few months ago. While there she tasted some new (to her) veggies including kale and beets (which I'm also sure she would have hated if I put them in front of her :) Since then she has, off and on, mentioned this visit and her experience. When I suggested that we makeup a recipe with the vegetables she tasted she jumped on the idea. So this weekend we went to the market where she hand picked kale, beets, carrots and broccoli. She decided on a salad because she prefers most veggies raw (except the broccoli which she insisted on steaming). The many colours of the combined veggies reminded her of a rainbow so she named it "Rainbow Salad". She also isn't a big fan of dressings as she doesn't like anything too tart thus the rather large amount of sweet orange juice. It was delicious!
