This simple salad is a great way to get kids into eating salad and its full of goodness. You can swap in different ingredients if you like to make your own version.

Method:

This is a simple salad that I often enjoy. I start with lettuce which is usually baby spinach or romaine. Then I slice little cherry tomatoes and slice the avocado pear and add them to the lettuce. I then crumble some feta cheese and sprinkle over and top this creation off with pine nuts.
