When preparing this salad, did you eat it as a side dish or as a main course? Explain your answer in detail.

I enjoyed this colorful salad as a main course for my lunch the day I prepared it. The reason is because, I wasn't really in the mood for eating anything heavy so I took this and I was fine. This salad contains fiber and vegetables which are both nourishing to the body and it keeps me full for some hours before I actually took my dinner.

Aside from that when I prepare salad in my house I usually take it with either roasted chicken, fried chip, fried rice, jollof rice or any other thing that blends with the coleslaw.
