Ingredient Benefits
Baby Potatoes
A great source of complex carbohydrates and potassium, baby potatoes provide satisfying texture and natural creaminess. They’re also high in fiber (especially with the skins on) and help keep you full and energized.
Red Onion
Adds a sharp, sweet crunch and beautiful color. Red onions are rich in antioxidants and sulfur compounds that support immune and heart health.
Sun-Dried Tomatoes in Oil
Concentrated in flavor and nutrients, sun-dried tomatoes offer a sweet-savory punch, along with lycopene — a powerful antioxidant linked to skin and heart health.
Green or Black Olives
Briny and rich in healthy fats, olives add depth and saltiness. They're packed with vitamin E and antioxidants that support skin and cellular health.
Roasted Red Peppers
Soft, smoky, and sweet, roasted red peppers boost the salad’s flavor and color. They’re an excellent source of vitamin C and beta-carotene.
Capers
Tiny but mighty, capers bring tang and zest. They’re low in calories and high in antioxidants, helping to enhance flavor naturally without added salt.
Fresh Parsley
Bright and grassy, parsley adds freshness and supports kidney function and digestion. It's a natural detoxifier and a great source of vitamins A, C, and K.
Fresh Basil
Sweet and aromatic, basil gives the salad a fresh, herbaceous lift. It’s known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties and adds a summery vibe to every bite.
Dressing Benefits
Dijon Mustard
Tangy and bold, Dijon adds sharpness to the dressing while providing antioxidants and trace minerals like selenium.
Red Wine Vinegar
Balances the oil with acidity, enhancing all the other flavors. Vinegar may support blood sugar regulation and digestion.
Olive Oil
The heart of the dressing, olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. It ties everything together with a smooth, silky texture and supports heart and brain health.
