Nutritional values

Pistachios contain a large amount of valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids and can thus prevent cardiovascular diseases. The green kernels are particularly rich in polyphenols. These antioxidants provide better protection of our body cells against free radicals and can slow down cell aging. Parsley - the classic among kitchen herbs - brings many essential oils that support digestion. The green plant pigment chlorophyll has a blood-cleansing effect.

The orange slices also make a great healthy side dish.

Preparation steps

1.

Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly and cook in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes on low heat. Then remove, drain and leave to cool.

In the meantime, wash parsley, shake dry, pluck off leaves, and chop. Clean the onion, wash and cut into fine rings. Coarsely chop pistachios and mix with parsley and onion.

3.

For the dressing, mix lime juice with mustard, maple syrup and olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
