Lunch Box Fun-Due

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.
