Broad Bean, Mint, Pine Nut and Parmesan Salad
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Broad beans, actually called broad beans, are a nutritious vegetable. They score points with vegetable protein, long-chain carbohydrates and important B vitamins. Pears help us get rid of excess water, as the potassium they contain ensures a healthy water balance in our body.
The bean salad is a delicious starter in late summer. If you would like to serve it, for example, as a side dish with a grilled pepper salmon, then you should prepare the recipe in double quantity.
