Lunch Box Fun-Due

CraftScout's Note:

From Rachel Ray's Yum-O cookbook. This is a recipe that DD7 picked out to make for us for lunch. :) It fits my requirement that our lunches be healthy and well-balanced. She washed and trimmed the strawberries, peeled the carrots, cut up the cheese, mixed the salsa/dressing, and helped assemble the lunches. A 12 year old could probably make this with just some supervision. The amounts listed are RR's original amounts, but I think unless you are feeding a grown man, this is too much food. Adjust amounts to fit the appetite.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins

• 2 celery ribs
• 3 tablespoons salsa
• 3 tablespoons ranch dressing
• 1 slice angel food cake
• ½ pint strawberry , hulled

Directions:

1. Cut turkey, ham, and cheese into bite sized cubes. Cut carrots and celery into sticks. Place these into lunch box.
2. Mix salsa and ranch dressing in a small sealable container for dipping savory dippers into.
3. Cut angel food slice into cubes and place in another container in lunch box.
4. Puree strawberries with a splash of water or juice in a blender. Pour into another small sealable container for dipping cake cubes into. This can also be made with frozen strawberries.

Wonderful! This is such a great idea. My DD isn't a big sandwich fan, so this really was right up her alley. Thank you for sharing!
