Receta Rainbow Grilled Cheese

by Amanda Formaro

This recipe is not for the faint of heart (or criticizer of food dye) – but if you’re all about having a bit of fun with your food, this Rainbow Grilled Cheese is just for you! Why turn your grilled cheese lunch into a rainbow? For the unicorn lover in your family, or for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day or spring, of course! Rainbow Grilled Cheese Recipe Last year, I was really committed to making all of our rainbow recipes healthy – from rainbow smoothies to rainbow spaghetti and fresh rainbow salsa – but this year, I’m indulging a little bit and having a bit more fun with our rainbow recipes. I still feel like this rainbow grilled cheese recipe was mostly healthy, using good quality cheese and whole grain bread, but yes – that cheese was rainbow colored. My kids went crazy for this grilled cheese, and while it’s not about to be a staple in our house, it’s definitely a fun lunch option that makes a rainy day just a little bit more special. You can alternatively add one single color for a birthday, team colors for a game day, or a mix of princess colors – whatever suits the occasion! Optional: top with colorful sprinkles to make Unicorn Grilled Cheese! You’ll also love these Rainbow Deviled Eggs and these Rainbow Cookies on a Stick! One thing that was really fun was not cutting through the cheese fully and encouraging the kids to pull their sandwiches apart to reveal the fun colors inside – all of the kids who didn’t help me make the sandwiches were so shocked and delighted at the rainbow colors (and my little helper was super proud of her handiwork).
