Benefits:
Chicken breast offers lean protein to support collagen synthesis and skin structure. Grapes are high in resveratrol and vitamin C, which brighten the skin and protect against environmental damage. Walnuts provide plant-based omega-3s for hydration and elasticity, while the yogurt dressing boosts gut health with probiotics.
