Salad in a Bag

Prepare a platter of assorted fresh Ontario vegetables and give the children the option of selecting their own. Chickpeas and shredded or cubed cheese can be packed in a separate container along with croutons. To complete the lunch, pack along Greek pita wedges and a frozen chocolate milk carton.

P.S. Pack a small plastic fork and a note instructing the child to pour the dressing into the bag, close it and do the "salad shake."
