In my ongoing quest to find tasty, kid-friendly food appropriate for the whole family, this week I chose a healthy salad that's easy to pack for school. I found the recipe in "Best Lunch Box Ever: Ideas and Recipes for School Lunches Kids Will Love," by Katie Sullivan Morford (Chronicle Books; $24.95).
1. Divide the lettuce between two large containers. In each container, arrange half the tomato, avocado, turkey, eggs and blue cheese (if using) in rows on top of the lettuce.
2. To make the dressing, divide soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and olive oil between two small containers. Put on the lids and shake well.
3. The salad and dressing can be made the night before and stored in the refrigerator, but wait until morning to cut and add the avocado. Be sure to give your child instructions for drizzling the dressing over the salad at lunchtime.
