Nutritional values

This colourful mixed salad has a lot of nutrients to offer: The tender savoy cabbage is particularly rich in the plant pigment chlorophyll, which supports blood formation and promotes wound healing. Valuable, muscle-building protein is also on the menu here, from chicken breast fillet as well as yogurt, sesame seeds and pine nuts.

If you would prefer this to be vegetarian, replace the chicken breast fillet with grilled halloumi.
