Sweet and tangy salad...cooking with kids!

Aubrey and I are enjoying a lovely afternoon at home today.  One of our favourite things to do in the afternoon is to check the mailbox.  Today she received her "highlights" magazine; this is a monthly magazine she receives. A dear lady in our church and her now late husband have had this sent to Aubrey since she was one.  It's a very special gift; full of stories, crafts, recipes and activity ideas.  

While reading it together we came across this recipe for a salad:

Since we had all of the ingredients I suggested that we make this for dinner.

I cut up the red pepper and we peeled the cucumber and carrot together.  I sliced the cucumber and shredded the carrot. 

Aubrey helped measure out the dressings ingredients.

We put all these dressing ingredients into a container and I tightened the lid before Aubrey gave it a shake shake shake.

We poured the dressing over the salad, put the lid on the container and then Aubrey gave it a shake as well!  She had a blast helping!

In the fridge it went!  This will be ready by dinner!!!!

Dinner time:

She absolutely loved the salad! This is pretty crazy because she is my "no dressing please" girl.

Got to go; she's requesting seconds!!!!!
