Rainbow Fruit Salad by Jennifer Coatanroch

Rainbow Fruit Salad

Jennifer Coatanroch, LaVie Plenty
This is a great way to get the kids involved in the kitchen and get them excited about eating a rainbow of colors!
Look around the market and have them find something from every color category.
When thinking of topping ideas, try to choose something that contains complex carbohydrates and/or protein to complete the snack.
