Zapomeňte na těstovinové saláty ze supermarketu, po kterých už ve dvě odpoledne saháte po sušenkách. Tento salát je připravený z ovesných krup — nejméně zpracované podoby ovsa. Kroupy si zachovávají neporušenou vlákninovou strukturu, která zajišťuje pozvolné uvolňování energie. V kombinaci s pestrou středomořskou zeleninou představují „skutečné jídlo“, které je třeba pořádně rozžvýkat a které vás opravdu zasytí. Žádné průmyslové výplně — jen vydatná miska plná živin, která vám dodá energii.
