Nutritional values

Lamb meat contains a lot of vitamin B12, which is only found in animal products. The micronutrient is involved in the formation of red blood cells. The dairy product Feta brings plenty of calcium and phosphorus to the table. This combo is used for strong bones as well as teeth and reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis (bone loss).

Our quick summer salad can also be prepared with fresh baby spinach instead of chard, depending on the season. If you don't like feta, you can simply replace the cheese with mozzarella. For a vegetarian version, simply omit the lamb loin and sprinkle the salad with a handful of walnuts instead.
