Nutritional values

This salad is packed with fiber thanks to the aspargus and peas, and valuable minerals such as potassium and copper from the water chestnuts. Be sure to quickly blanch the vegetable just until lightly tender to retain the majority of their nutrients and flavor.

Add a hard-boiled egg to this dish for added texture and a substantial serving of satiating protein.
