If you have an oven you can always make your own croutons!. Just use some day or two old italian bread so it is a little stale!. If you can find halloween cookie cutters, use them to cut out the bread into shapes!. Then bake the bread in the oven!. (You may have to research what temp and time)!. I think kids would get a kick out of that!. I would definitely include tomatoes if you can!. When I was little I loved chick peas (garbanzo beans) in my salads!. I still do!.!.!. they are great in salads! Pepperoni is good in salad also!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'm guessing most kids don't like black olives cause that would be more halloween-ish!.
Dark rye croutons would be nice too!.
If you want to make a creepy garnish, peel radishes so almost all the red skin is off, then slice a green olive with pimento in half, cut our small hole in radish (mini melon baller) and insert olive, it looks like an eyeball!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
