Good recipe for a colourful lunch?
Answers:
Beets are good.
I try to avoid added food coloring,beet color is sometimes used in yogurt.
tomatoes are nice, broccoli salad adds green, or a mixed green salad.
Use whole grain bread.
Deviled eggs give nice protein and color, how about cheese?
Serve a mixed fruit juice.
Blueberries are in. I made a Waldorf salad with unpeeled apples and blueberries, got many compliments.
Little ham rolls are a nice color.
