Succulent marinated chicken breast, soft goats cheese, strawberries, pecan nuts on a bed of rocket and baby spinach, all bring a unique flavour and important nutrients to this signature salad.
Fresh strawberries are a common and important fruit in the Mediterranean diet and due to their high content of essential nutrients and beneficial phytochemicals, they are important in human health.
Semi soft goat's cheese is another source of animal protein found in this dish. Goats cheese naturally contains calcium. A key micronutrient for bone health and development.
Rocket contains ALA (Alpha lipoic acid) which has strong antioxidant activity especially in diabetic patients. Antioxidants are used in the body to fight damaging particles in the body, known as free radicals. Free radicals can damage cells and DNA, and may contribute to the aging process. Spinach contains compounds which help to increase vitality and overall wellness.
Pecan nuts naturally contain heart healthy fats and manganese. Manganese is an essential mineral that helps to t activate powerful antioxidant enzymes, convert fats and proteins into energy, and support cartilage and bone formation.
