How can I get my 9-year old daughter to eat fruits and vegetables?

My girls all loved salad at that age. I would offer different toppings like brocolli florets and califlower, carrots, etc. It got to the point that salad became their favorite and wouldn't eat meat. I think it is a phase they all go through.

At 9 your daughter is old enough to understand about healthy eating and the consequences of disobeying her parents. I would tell her that she can choose 2 or 3 fruits and 2 or 3 vegetables that she's willing to eat and that you're willing to work with her so that she eats a more healthy diet without making it too difficult on her. Suggest alternating the fruit and vegetables so that she only has to eat one per day, but that she has to eat at least a small serving each day or she faces some kind of consequence. Some kids are picky eaters but that doesn't mean that you have to throw in the towel and give in. You are the parent and you are in charge so, be creative, let your daughter know that you understand and care about feelings but that you also care about her health.

most kids like crunchy things so make salads with baby carrots, and tomatoes and good dark green leafy lettuce, and toss in some' croutons and a good salad dressing bet they will eat it.
