What does a salad bowl contain?

A salad bowl usually contains leafy green in combination with vegetables and sometimes fruit. Salad bowls also generally contain a grain like rice, quinoa, barley or millet. They may also contain healthy fats like olive oil, seeds and or nuts.

What's the best bowl for salad?

It's always best to carry something light like a wooden or melamine bowl. If your salad needs to be re-heated, your best to store it in a glass microwaveable container.

Is it good to eat a bowl of salad everyday?

Eating a bowl of salad every day can be a great way to incorporate more fresh vegetables into your diet and promote overall health. Salads are typically low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them a nutritious addition to any meal plan. However, it's important to ensure that you're getting a variety of nutrients from other sources as well, and to be mindful of portion sizes and toppings that can add calories and unhealthy fats.
