Nutrition:

• Red onion: red onions are full of sulfur compounds that protect the body from ulcers and various cancers. They also fight bacteria and contain quercetin, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant that protects against cancer, allergies, and heart disease.

• Red bell pepper: bell peppers are one of the highest foods in vitamin C! They also have heart-healthy antioxidants, lots of vitamin A, and fiber.

• Arugula: arugula's bitter taste/smell comes from glucosinolates, which may protect the body against certain cancers. It's also full of antioxidants and helps with the absorption of many minerals.

• Burrata: burrata is not only a great source of protein and calcium, but it is also full of vitamins and absolutely DELICIOUS.
