🥗🍓 SO SUPER, SO YUM! 🍎🥗 One of our school lunch favorites is back for summer meals—Super Yum Salad! Fresh romaine and tossed greens, crunchy red apples, sweet strawberries, and a sprinkle of cheese come together for a delicious and refreshing meal.

It's easy to see why this colorful salad is a student favorite! ☀️
