Tips
- Do your kids love burgers? This salad would be a perfect side dish. Ask little chefs to measure out ingredients and mix them together.
- Try lower sugar peach jam or a drizzle of honey if apricot jam is unavailable.
- Switch up the beans – try kidney beans or pinto beans instead of chickpeas.
- Remember, a little salt goes a long way. Taste the food before adding any salt.
