Olavieh Salad Nazma Lakhani
Healthy Hints
Although this is called a salad, it’s more of a main meal salad than a side dish. The chicken and eggs are a source of protein, the potatoes provide carbs, and the cucumber and peas form a serving of vegetables. Two-hundred-fifty Calories is quite high for a salad if it is being teamed up with a traditional high-fat meal. However, it goes really well with some Iranian spinach broni and low-fat natural yoghurt.
