Let’s Talk Nutrition:
Hydration and Nutrient-Rich Ingredients: High-water vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes provide hydration and nutrients. They also contain antioxidants like lycopene, vitamin C (from tomatoes), and vitamin K (from cucumbers). These nutrients boost immunity and health.
Heart-Healthy Fats and Antioxidants: The balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil dressing contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. Olive oil can reduce inflammation and improve cholesterol, especially for heart health. Balsamic vinegar’s antioxidants may aid digestion and blood sugar regulation.
