Healthy, because
In contrast to other types of cabbage, cauliflower is easily digestible. The abundant potassium it contains balances the body's fluid balance and takes over important metabolic tasks. Allyl legume oil, an essential oil from the radishes, stimulates the production of digestive juices and thus helps the intestines to recover.
Even smarter
In order to be able to draw on the full flavour, you should prepare the salad one evening or some time before consumption, so that the aromas of the dressing can develop fully.
