This is an example of how repeated exposure has paid off in my house. By consistently making colorful salads and presenting it without giving a choice, it has become OK to try.
I hand out the salad and then say: "Dressing? Or no dressing?"
Given the option, the right answer becomes "no dressing" rather than "no thank you". I then randomly include new veggies in there without saying a word. If they are curious, they ask me what it is or ask me for more. If not, I don't mention it initially. If it gets eaten, I will say: "Looks like you liked the cauliflower."
