Salad is TOO kid food

Ian has a rabid penchant for “kid food” which does get indulged just a wee bit too often. But there are bright spots, and one of them is that he likes salad. He declared my favorite vinaigrette “disgusting” (then ate a whole bowl, but never mind) so tonight I made him a yogurt dressing (no sugar!) which he also declared “disgusting.” Keeghan ate the leftovers with a spoon, though, so we have a 50% approval rating- higher if you count my vote.

No- sugar added yogurt dressing

1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon mild table mustard
1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 Tbsp cider vinegar

Mix well. Thin with a little milk, as needed.

My salad had chicken breast seasoned with lemon pepper and basil, heirloom tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and capers on a bed of romaine lettuce. I find it helps me not to get tired of salad when I cook the chicken right before I eat it, do I’ve been doing one boneless, skinless breast at a time in my Round Covered Baker. (that’s a Pampered Chef product, but I imagine any stoneware casserole would work.)
