Four easy ways to 4 A Day

Here are some easy ways to eat more fruit and vegetables…

Breakfast: have fruit juice or fruit

Mid-morning: a piece of fruit as a mid morning snack.

Lunch: Have a side salad or add chopped vegetables to lunch boxes.

Evening Meal: serve 3 types of vegetables with your dinner.

Help being sought from native speakers:

What is the meaning of four easy ways to 4 a day.

Does "piece of fruit" should be taken literally here. Or does it mean one should have some amount of fruit?

What is the meaning of "side" salad.

I thank you all for your suggestions in advance.

Explanation:
Four easy ways to eat 4 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

I would understand "piece of fruit" as a serving of fruit, for example, an apple, a pear, a bunch of grapes.

A side salad is a small salad, not a meal in itself, but an accompaniment.
