Italian Potato Salad
Healthy, because

Nutritional values
Italian potato salad scores thanks to the potatoes which have a large portion of vitamin C. This protects against free radicals, strengthens the immune system by promoting the natural killer cells, and is essential for collagen formation, thus ensuring firm connective tissue. It is best to cook the potatoes whole and with the skin on. This prevents water-soluble micronutrients such as vitamin C, B vitamins, and potassium from being washed out during cooking.
The cooling process also produces resistant starch. This can now no longer be absorbed and thus saves calories. In addition, it supports a healthy intestinal flora.
Italian potato salad can be wonderfully prepared in the evening, stored overnight in the refrigerator and taken to work the next day. If you are not a fan of dried tomatoes, you can use fresh ones.
