Little ones love snacking on tomatos, berries and leaves of mint, chives and basil from the garden.

At farmer's markets they can snack on fresh peas and purple carrots.

Kids gravitate to veg naturally.

Their bodies constantly crave nutrients. All you have to do is open the door with a tasty addictive salad dressing.

A dressing you can put on almost everything. Combined with these fast easy, sexy photogenic recipes and you all win!

Sure it is no work for you, sure it may not technically be a salad, but shouldn't all vegetable and greens count?

So why get hung up on a name?

(And yes you can get protein from peas. Those little green balls are packed with what a plant needs to grow. Which is probably why kids love them too.)
