In an effort to encourage healthy eating habits, schools in Chilton County are promoting a Super Salad Bar Week, The Clanton Advertiser has learned.
Throughout the themed week, students in the Clanton, Ala.-based district have a chance to sample a salad from a different country each day, including Mexico and Italy. The Brazilian Summer Salad was Monday’s dish, which features corn, diced tomatoes, lime juice and red onions in mayonnaise.
