Chef's Note
Fruits and vegetables are essential for maintaining good health. In fact, it’s recommended that you have five to ten servings a day. Artichokes replenish the body’s minerals, thanks to their high potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron content. They provide important amounts of B vitamins and their level of vitamin C, an antioxidant and fatigue-fighter, is 5-8 mg per 100 g. As for lettuce, its fiber content varies according to the variety: Romaine is the highest, followed by frisée, iceberg and Boston.
This recipe is ideal for a lunch box.
