I am totally into this new Organic Field Greens Salad from Superstore over the regular garden salads I have been eating for the past couple of years!~ It’s a nice change! That whole container was $4.69 and it’s quite cheaper, and its expiry date seems to be twice as long as regular salad. PS: the noname Toasted Sesame vinegrette dressing is also quite tasty.

You need a good oil on your salad. Plus 8 cups of water per day. Plus fruit (which I lack in my diet)
