Thanks to their high protein and fiber content, lentils are a real filling food and stimulate digestion. Green asparagus contains a lot of folic acid. The B vitamin is involved in blood formation, among other things. The mildly fruity tasting apple cider vinegar is ideal for dressings. The old natural remedy is said to fight cravings and curb the appetite.

Also try linseed oil instead of olive oil for the vinaigrette. Linseed oil has a slightly more intense flavor and provides even more healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
