use what’s fresh (the produce is the star here so don’t use anything wilted or stale)
add something rich (bacon, avocado, cheese, nuts, popcorn chicken)
think crunchy (croutons, sesame sticks, sliced almonds, celery, radish)
make it filling (cooked grains, pasta, shredded cabbage, collard greens, roasted potatoes, grilled meats)
include a cooked vegetable (blanched broccoli, wilted kale, baked sweet potato)
