Nutritional values

Salmon provides a large portion of omega-3 fatty acids which are good for the heart and blood vessels. Additionally, this recipe includes the entire daily ration of bone-strengthening vitamin D. Thanks to the milk, this recipe also contains calcium.

You can enjoy this fine iced cucumber soup as a starter, snack, or a light main course. To make it more filling and add more fiber, serve a whole wheat baguette on the side.
