The gorgeous primary colors in a box of school crayons are in this salad.  None of the waxy taste, however.  We layered the ingredients in a glass bowl and then mixed them all together in a giant bowl that was bigger than most of the kids.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen or canned)
  • 1 cup fresh, shelled edamame
  • 3/4 cup carrots, sliced or shredded
  • 1 cup thinly-sliced purple cabbage
  • 1 cup sliced tomatoes (any kind)
  • Balsamic vinaigrette, to taste (about 3/4 cup) OR Balsamic Glaze
  • Fresh minced herbs: parsley, basil, chives, etc. to taste

Instructions

Toss together and serve!

More Information

If you want something blue, the only food I know that fits that bill is blueberries.  Might be surprisingly good!  You can also have fun with radishes, fresh peppers, jicama, and any other veggie you like for a raw salad.  It is always beautiful and truly packed with nutrients.
