“Once the entrées have been selected for both the noon and dinner meal, consider the entrée for the main meal first and then the entrées for the other meals; choose the accompanying vegetables and potatoes, rice, or pasta on the basis of their color, form, texture, and flavor.

Next, select salads that contrast with the rest of the meal in color, flavor, and texture.”
