SERENE CHATS: Unlike salads that use leafy greens, this stays fresh all week in the fridge. My children endearingly call this our “Freshy Bowl” since it is a staple on our table. I make up this lively, incredibly flavorful salad about once a week so I can always have an instant fresh side salad. It is the perfect side to any protein dish, but I love it as a bed for any meal. I put a layer of this onto my dinner plate, then simply put my main course over the top of it. What a delicious way to get in my high–vitamin C veggies! As written, this is a delightful S, perfect with any S protein dish like roasted chicken or even a steak. As an S, it is also beautifully complemented by sliced avocado. But it can easily be made FP- and E-friendly by reducing the oil to 2 tablespoons for an FP, then tossing with a couple cups quinoa or brown rice inside the bowl for an E. Enjoy this with a lean protein like grilled tilapia or chicken breast and you have a flavorful E meal!

NOTE:

If you do not have the mct oil, then sub with olive or avocado oil... but the mct oil is silkier and carries less flavor overtones, so it helps promote the true fresh flavors of this dish.
