Description:
Our Junior Chef program is always a huge hit with both our momstown kids and mamas. They just love getting together at The Pan Tree and Callingwood Recreation Center to make something yummy every month. This month we have been focusing on colours, so we decided that the perfect thing to make was a Rainbow Fruit Salsa. We talked about how important it is to "eat a rainbow" to ensure that you are getting the right amount of vitamins and nutrients. The kids loved being able to cut up their own fruit and loved even more being able to eat it after! It was so yummy that all of the mamas were asking for the recipe before we even left! Feel free to change up what fruit you put in, just try to have as many colours as possible!
