Challenges SODIUM To lower the sodium: Reduced amount of buffalo sauce used Switched from bottled ranch dressing to homemade ranch dressing. Switched to a low sodium dressing mix APPLES Our first school testing day, many kids commented on how the apples were their least favorite in the salad. So apples were cut into tinier pieces, and incorporated into the dressing.
Cost was originally too high because of the Greek yogurt. We decided to go with the low fat plain yogurt because it would help decrease the cost from $1.75/serving to $1.21/serving, and also figured it would actually have a better consistency in relation to salad dressing. COST
