Nutritional values

Radicchio, red onion, beetroot, and pomegranate are full of anthocyanins. These are the dyes that make them dark red. These secondary plant substances effectively protect against cell-damaging free radicals and strengthen the body's defences.

If you want to save fat calories, you can top the salad with granular cream cheese. Like sheep's cheese, it is a great source of protein, but has considerably less fat. Protein is the nutrient of the musculature.
