I like eating with fresh raw leaves. Only a few leaves that can be eaten raw. In our country we know fresh leaves that commonly be eaten to make food more delicious.
Of course rice is number 1 component of all food combination: rice, chilly, grilled or fried fish or meat, some fresh raw leaves / vegetables.
At lunch, most people eat this kind of food. I notice they eat more and more.

That's quite different in terms of serving the raw vegetables. I guess it's due to different traditions. Indonesian people cannot get away from white rice served together with fish, meat and raw vegetables.

Raw vegetables especially lettuce, carrots peppers, onions etc do make for a nice side dish in my house.

Yes, that's right. More vegetables are cooked as well.

Make sure we wash all the vegetables. Just in case.

I seldom eat raw vegetables except romaine lettuce which I used in Caesar salads.

@Beestring I see. I once enjoyed that at the hotel organizing the wedding party.

@yanzalong Caesar salad is just a side dish. I usually have fish or meat as the main course.

I also developed this habit while living China. Before i couldn’t eat a salad with no sauce but now no sauce needed and I lost so much weight and my skin cleared up. Good stuff!

I eat raw several veggies. The several kinds of lettuce are the ones I eat most but I also eat tender chard and spinach and I add basil leavel and arugula to many of my salads. Cabbage in one of my favorite too.

That's perfect combination of raw vegetables. No rice there?

@yanzalong I usually make white rice and mix it later with other food. A green salad bowl has no rice.

It could be similar things to what I posted here. Do they sell white rice as well?

We're the same rice consumer. Meal isn't complete without rice, vegetables, fish, eggs, meat and more, but I don't eat raw vegetables my stomach rambles.
