High in protein and low in carbohydrates - this spicy salad is perfect for all low carb fans. Leeks are a vegetable particularly rich in zinc and have other valuable ingredients that support the immune system and can thus prevent diseases.

When buying chicken breast fillets, it is best to reach for organic goods, as these are not contaminated with antibiotic residues, unlike conventional goods.
