Chicken, celery, and corn detox salad dressed with a light yogurt-based sauce delicately flavored with mustard.
Surely, during the end-of-year holidays, we’ve all indulged a bit, enjoying some delicious lasagna, a filled panettone, a piece of nougat, and it’s not a bad idea to eat lower-calorie dishes in January to get back to a less fatty and caloric diet.
This single-course salad is tasty without being too rich and it’s perfect for a meal during our day, which is often rushed between family, work, home, and other daily commitments!
Thecelery is a low-calorie vegetable (100 g of celery contains 20 kcal / 84 kj) and it’s recommended to consume it fresh and raw. It contains mainly potassium, magnesium, and calcium, vitamin C, vitamin K; it also includes lutein, a powerful antioxidant that protects the brain. Celery is composed of about 90% water; for this reason, it is an excellent diuretic and purifying.
