There are so many fresh vegetables available in the summer. A great way to get your child interested in eating these vegetables is to talk about the different parts of the plant and what it needs to grow from a seed into something you can eat. Gather vegetables for a traditional garden salad and point out which vegetables grow above ground and which grow underground. Chop up your ingredients and make the salad together.
