    Eight years ago when my son was in pre-kindergarten, we received a flyer from the moms of two classmates.

But many of their favorite toppings are high in fat, high in calories and lack color. What they needed was a little education and taste testing to help them understand that not all salads are created equal. Fortunately, they were very eager to learn how to make their salads more nutritious without sacrificing flavor.
