Italian Chopped Salad

Italian Chopped Salad

My 4 1/2 year old daughter attends little preschool every Friday morning called Madame BonAbitude which means Mrs. Good Habits.  Each week they learn about a new country and cook a dish from that country along with learning dances and songs.  

Her teacher asked me our culture and I choose the Italian side..more interesting then the American culture and if I could come up with a dish the children could prepare in class.  

This is the one we will make with a few of my daughter's request "Mommy, remove and orange pepper, and chick peas"...hope the children like it!
