Week 3 of Nutrition Expedition: Rainbow Confetti Slaw

September 26-30, 2016

Rainbow Confetti Slaw

Surprise! We made "Rainbow Confetti Slaw" in Nutrition Expedition this week. It was like a party in a bowl! 

I based this recipe off of one I ran across online: Detox Apple Cabbage Salad. However, to make it a little more child-friendly, I omitted and replaced a few ingredients, and it turned out great! Here is our altered recipe below:


The children were so excited to help in creating this healthy snack, each taking a turn in adding an ingredient to the dish. I think we may have some future culinary geniuses in our presence ;) 

The toddlers helped create a yummy apple dip (1 cup of greek yogurt, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and 1/8 cup of pure maple syrup), and they enjoyed dipping "apple fries" (julienne-sliced apples) in it! The infants had a blast making apple prints!
