Ground Flaxseed and Chicken Breast Salad on Multi-Grain Sandwich
Sylvia LAM, Chairlady of Hong Kong Dietitians Association, said "Flaxseed is a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acid, which can improve blood lipids. Chicken breast contains a lower level of fat than other meats but is rich in protein. It helps one feel full."
