Goat cheese and walnuts are known for their high amount of protein. Additionally, walnuts are rich in valuable Omega-3 fatty acids, which have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system. Because goat cheese has a quite high percentage of fat and fat-reduced goat cheese is hard to find, this salad should not be eaten more than once a week.
