Notes

This is a super easy and nutritious salad that can be taken to work and enjoyed. It is low-calorie & low-carb and because it has a decent amount of fibre, protein and healthy fats, such as omega 3 fatty acid and monounsaturated fat from the olive oil, it should keep you satiated until dinner time. These fats are very important for eye health, lowering inflammation, hormonal, neurological and cardiovascular health. One serving contains 3 portions of vegetables and 17.6g of protein, making it a nutritious dish for anyone following a vegetarian diet.
