Directions
1.
SNIP THE LETTUCE: Wash a pair of kiddie scissors and let your child use them to carefully cut the lettuce into small pieces. If she can't work scissors yet, ask her to tear the lettuce with her hands instead.
2.
MIX THE INGREDIENTS: Find a clear container with a lid and tell your child to place the lettuce, veggies, berries, cheese, and ham inside. Put on the cover and let her gently shake the container until everything is jumbled.
3.
MAKE THE DRESSING: Help your child pour the buttermilk, mayo, and vinegar into a medium bowl and whisk until they're combined. Ask her to cut chives with the scissors and gently stir in the pieces.
