The greenery is provided by using wild rocket* which is sometimes known as Arugula. Now we all know that salad greens are healthy, and that most are very low in calories. However, did you know that not all give you a good dose of nutrients... well Arugula/ Rocket is one leafy green vegetable that stands out as a rich source of many vitamins and minerals.
Consider the difference between iceberg lettuce and arugula/rocket:
Arugula contains about eight times the calcium,
fives times the vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K,
four times the iron as the same amount of iceberg lettuce.
The choice is easy... start with arugula/rocket for a healthier salad!

Another delicious looking post Jan...thank you!
I do enjoy your recipes💮
Hello, looks like a great lunch. Thanks for sharing the info on Arugula. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
That's a sound mix of carbs and protein, it looks really enticing. Nice recipe, and thanks for sharing as always!
what a wonderful refreshing combination!
It looks perfect for a summer lunch.
I would love a portion of this right now! Hugs, Valerie
...a cool summer treat.
That sounds good for a nice light summer lunch :) Need it on these HOT days!
That does sound good. I've never paired ham with fruit before so that's new for me.
Some combinations really work don't they?
An unusual combination.
Arugula wins the nutrients race hands down.
Loved the meme;)
Have a great one, Jan.
That would be a great lunch.
That looks brilliant!
This looks very tasty. I have John on a low carb diet. We are both trying very hard to get his blood sugar down.
What an interesting flavor combination...
Hi Jan, this looks very tasty! And I think the Parma ham is known as Prosciutto here in Montreal. It is an expensive, but delicious item!
Yes, it's a great combination and indeed a lovely, refreshing lunch on a hot (Italian) summer day. :)
Thank you very much, dear Jan, for your kind comments. I don't have much time for reading and commenting on blogs right now, but I truly enjoy all the inspiring recipes you share.
Have a lovely Midsummer weekend! Hugs! xx
This looks so good! Thank you!!!
I would find it more helpful if you listed the CARBS in recipes that have CARBS in them like honeydew melons and other sugar-rich ingredients.
