Copper Penny Salad {Low Fat}

Copper Penny Salad has been on our family table for years. My grandma or my great aunt would always bring it to family picnics and church potlucks. Granted what they were making had canned tomato soup in it which is not Trim Healthy Mama friendly.
I recently remade this recipe to be Trim Healthy Mama Friendly.

Why I Love This  Low Fat Copper Penny Salad 

Copper Penny Salad has been a staple at picnics and potlucks for a couple weeks. It is simple to make and just keeps getting better as it sits in the fridge.

We love this as a side with cold chicken as well as with some Air Fryer Chicken Strips. Rick just likes to snack on it out of a bowl.

How I Store Copper Penny Salad

I keep fermented salads like this in glass storage containers with lids like these from pyrex. I use glass because the apple cider vinegar can sometimes leach out unwanted things from plastic ones.

Why You Will Want To Add This Salad To Your Meal Plan

This salad is super quick and easy to mix together. You will spend the most time waiting for it to ferment. 

Some quick tips for preparing:

• use steamer bag carrots 
• use pre chopped onions and peppers
• bump up the non starchie vegetables just before serving to add crunchy texture
• swap out the carrots for steamed or roasted beets

Ideas for the leftover sauce {if you have any}

• use as a quick salad dressing for an Energizing salad
• pour over shredded cabbage for a twist on coleslaw
