Cheese Chip Salad in a Bag PDF FACEBOOK SHARE ICON.

Make a delicious meal using a chip bag!

What You Need:

•  1 head lettuce


• 1 bunch Romaine lettuce


• 1 tomato, chopped into cubes


• 1 bag cheese, Mexican blend


• ½ bottle Italian Lite Dressing


• ½ can of olives *optional


• ½ bag of cheese flavored tortilla chips


• 2 large gallon size re-sealable bags

What To Do:

1. Together, wash and tear the lettuce into small pieces (shreds).


2. Have your child put the lettuce, cheese, and olive in one of the large re-sealable bags to mix the ingredients together.


3. Pour the chips into the other re-sealable bag. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag shut.


4. Have your child crush the bag with his hands and shake 10 times, counting out loud. (Be careful not to let your child crush the chips too much or they will be too small.)


5. Just before you are ready to serve, combine the chips with the other ingredients into one bag. Have your child shake the bag 10 times, counting out loud.


6. Place half of the bottle of dressing into a small pitcher with a pouring spout and have your child pour that into the salad. Have your child toss ingredients and count to 10 once more, counting out loud.


7. Spoon out the salad into bowls and serve.
