Carrot Zucchini Salad with Blueberries
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Nutritional values
Carrots contain plenty of beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. The fat-soluble vitamin strengthens vision, among other things. Blueberries provide many cell-protecting antioxidants. Capers are a vitality-rich and flavorful addition to this salad. The small buds are rich in the secondary plant substances flavonoid and mustard glycoid, which have antioxidant and digestive effects.
If you like, you can replace the olive oil with linseed oil for even more unsaturated fatty acids. Instead of blueberries, raspberries also taste very good in this salad.
