Nutritional values

Without question, this salad requires a little time. As a health thank-you for your efforts, it gets almost the full number of stars in the ES-Food-Check - thanks, among other things, to easily digestible protein from the chicken breast and a vitamin injection of salads, fruits and mangetout.

If you use rapeseed oil instead of olive oil, you enrich the salad additionally with valuable vegetable omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for the heart and circulation.
