My answer would depends on what she is already eating. How much does she weigh and whether she has any allergies? However, since I don't have any of this information, I will give you a generic answer on a diet that would suit a one year old.
First and foremost, at the age of one year, the baby should be on mother's milk still. Nothing is more nutritious for a baby then breast milk. I Hope you are still breastfeeding her.
• If she is on formula you may want to replace formula milk with whole milk, when the child is one year old. (You can replace breast milk with whole milk too but Personally I think breastfeeding should be continued till the age of 2) Low fat or skim milk is not good for children as they need fat for growth.
• Your daughter should be given fruits, vegetables, breads, grains, and the dairy products to ensure all nutrients.
• Give her meals 4-5 times throughout the day, because small children can not eat much at a time. Follow the principles of the Food Guide Pyramid, portions and number of servings are less for children.
Opened baby food containers should be covered and stored in a refrigerator for not more than two days.
• Give only one new food at a time and watch for any allergic reactions.
• Avoid foods such as nuts, popcorn, potato chips, corn, grapes, raisins, etc. These foods may choke the baby.
• Do not give sweets or sweetened beverages as they contribute to tooth decay.
• Do not give soft drinks, coffee, tea, and chocolate as they contain caffeine.
Do not give any vitamin supplements. A child´s diet may be deficient in calcium, iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and folic acid. Healthy children should get all their nutrients from foods. Standard paediatric multi-vitamins may be given if your paediatrician recommends it.
• Do not feed solids in a bottle.
• Avoid giving bottle with milk or fruit juice to the baby lying in bed. This can develop nursing bottle mouth that may result in tooth decay.
I hope it helps. If you need any more information, feel free to post another question :)

Every mother always gets curios about what to feed her child because children at this stage are very much choosy to eat. They rather sometime even through the food and also knows the art to keep food into their mouths for long irritating a mother with seeing such kind to things.
First of all a child of such age should give clean water. If mineral water is available then it should be given otherwise boil water and give them when cool. Never try to feed too much at a time because by this the child my keep on storing food in her mouth which my also cause choking and leads toward vomiting. Give her combination of food like one fruit one vegetable, you can also add protein like minced beef or chicken.
Try to feed your child by giving her short meals for at least 5-6 times. If your child doesn't take milk properly then try to give her home made foods cooked in milk like cereals boiled rice with milk etc. Try to feed her when she is in a mood of playing, then she will not much irritate you.

A variety of nutritious foods can be added to the diet that will ensure the baby's proper growth. This is an important age when what we feed will help her develop healthy eating habits. After one year the baby food can be fully stopped and she can be fed anything that is prepared at home as long as she is not allergic to it. The baby is still teething so the food should be properly mashed, puréed or cut into very small pieces.
Seasonal vegetables and fruits can be slowly introduced. Some can be cooked like potatoes, green leafy vegetables, pumpkins, etc. but some like carrots, cucumbers can be given raw as they love chewing on it. Fruit juices or purées can be given. Foods like ready to eat cereals, biscuits or crackers, noodles or pastas, lentils, well cooked rice, chapattis, well cooked chicken, yoghurt, boiled egg, tofu, toasted bread, cheese, soups, and whole milk products can be given.
Most children at a year want to eat by themselves and even though it is very messy allow her. She may not like new food at first, but give her different combinations, different tastes and textures like soft, semi hard, etc. As toddlers are grazers give her not just one kind of food but different types of food, make it appetizing and be consistent in her eating schedules. Don't feel agitated or frustrated as it is difficult to predict how much and what the baby will eat.
