Notes

Iron Chef KFA Battle Lunchbox Entrees September 2007 Bread and Deli Meat free: First place winner (tie).

Challenger’s statement:

Your kids will love eating this chilled salad with scoop chips so much that they won’t notice all of the nutrition hiding in it (or that blue is missing from the rainbow)!

(Any leftover salad makes an excellent side dish for grilled chicken or a yummy filling for a wrap sandwich.)

Substitutions

Be sure to check that your tortilla chips are not cross contaminated with sesame or cooked in peanut oil if needed.
Corn Substitutions: Corn is a common ingredient in products. Starch, modified food starch, dextrin and maltodextrin can be from corn. Consult with your physician to find out which corn derivatives you need to avoid. Many corn-free options are available in the US. Find out more about corn substitutions.
