this is referring to a pack of salad. I have difficulty with the word cercano meaning close, friendly, familiar, (rather than an occasional delicacy). would be greatful for any suggestions

personally relevant
hard to find an adjective I agree - I read it as meaning (not just nicer looking but also) easier to relate to (because less exclusive / downmarket..., whatever. etc.)
