Nutritional values

The delicious chicken salad combination provides a good mixture of carbohydrates and protein. The essential oils in the horseradish and cress clean up the stomach, promote blood circulation and strengthen the immune system.

You don't appreciate spicy food or you're cooking for a child? Then simply take less horseradish and replace all or part of the spicy cress with parsley or chives.
