This salad covers half your daily requirement of vitamin C, which is essential for production of the structural protein collagen. Collagen is found almost everywhere in the body: in the connective and supporting tissue (bones, teeth, cartilage, tendons, ligaments), as well as in the skin.

This salad goes very well with roasted lamb or chicken.

This looks tasty! I am short on salt, what else can I use to create a similar taste?
Cyndy from EAT SMARTER's picture
Just add a dash more of soy sauce to replace the salt, or you could omit completely.
