Healthy, because
Lamb's lettuce and rocket are particularly rich in folate (folic acid). The vitamin is particularly important for women, and has been proven to prevent neural tube defects (malformations) in the unborn child when trying to have children or during pregnancy.
Even smarter
The aromatic cantaloupe or Charentais melon is also delicious with the salad. You can also easily spice up your salad with roasted pine nuts and goat cheese.
