Nutritional values
The piquant salad is dominated by many colourful vegetables. Its plus: it is low in calories and provides the body with plenty of vitamins, minerals, fibre and secondary plant substances. In this mix they have a positive effect on the eyes, intestines, bones and blood formation.
Serve with garlic bread (toast the bread and rub it with a peeled clove while still hot). This not only increases the fibre content of this healthy salad: allicin, an aromatic ingredient of garlic, helps to lower cholesterol levels.
