Crab Stick Fruit Salad
This is an unusual salad in that half of it is fruit and the other half is mixed ingredients. Though it may sound unusual, it is very tasty. It is a great meal for kids in the summer because it is cool and refreshing with ingredients they love like crab sticks and sweet peaches. Why not make this a regular dish on your summer menu?
This is a terrific recipe to get them to eat healthy food. The best part is, it only takes you a few minutes to put this meal together. That alone could make this one of your favorite recipes to prepare in the summer when the kids are out of school! They will love the crunchy cucumbers, the sweet bites of corn, the chopped eggs, and the sweet crab sticks. The peaches, though part of the dish, are almost like dessert. They provide a nice sweetness at the end of the meal. Kids could actually get away with treating this whole dish as finger food if you do not mind them getting messy. It is part of the fun of being a kid!
You can serve this dish up in a bowl or on a plate. Go ahead and use whatever is handy. This is a great way to use up boiled eggs if you make them a few times per week. The chopped eggs provide a lot of protein to complement the crab sticks. They also offer new textures when combined with the crab, cucumbers, and corn. The juicy peaches are always fun for kids when they eat. They can slurp them, chew them, or nibble them.
