| Salmon Waldorf Salad for Dinner |
With 5 kids ages 3- to 8-years old in our household, we do dinner early. Sometimes after school the kids are so hungry that a snack won't do - and they will eat an entire dinner by 4:00pm! Come 6:00pm and beyond, a healthy snack (or two) can suffice until breakfast time.
In order to keep the kids' hunger in check, I have to be able to prepare dinner quickly - otherwise they will start helping themselves to food and spoil their appetites! One healthy meal that I can prepare in about 2 minutes I call "Salmond Waldorf Salad". It's canned salmon with walnuts pieces and apple slices - in a sandwich of Dempster's 100% Whole Wheat bread.

That is awesome that your son will eat that. Mine wouldn't. I sure would though - that's brilliant!!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds yummy! My little one loves salmon (she loves fish in general)!
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy. I wish that I could eat walnuts. But my daughter would probably love this sandwich (minus the bread)!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good! We love salmon here! YUM!
ReplyDeleteMy kids have a voracious appetite after school to, LOL. We are just trying to introduce more fish into their diets and I think this would be a great start. Minus the walnuts due to allergies and we are good to go!
ReplyDeleteI wish my son liked sandwiches. Lunch is so hard for us.
