Health and fertility benefits of Lemony Egg Salad Sandwiches with Capers and Dill

Romaine lettuce contains chromium, which helps maintain normal blood glucose levels by making insulin more efficient. The chromium in romaine lettuce also promotes weight loss due to its ability to help control cravings, reduce hunger, and control fat in the blood. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons brined capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons chopped fresh dill

1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
4 leaves green-leaf or romaine lettuce
