Salad Bowl 1 article

A salad bowl is a meal-size salad built around leafy greens or other vegetables, then completed with protein, grains, beans, nuts, seeds, and dressing as needed. In a salad bowl, the nutrition profile depends on the base, protein source, vegetables or fruit, toppings, sauce, and portion size. Comparing salad bowl versions works best when those components are explicit, because the same bowl format can vary substantially in protein, fiber, sodium, added sugar, and energy density.
