Healthy, because
Fresh lemon juice not only rounds off the taste of many dishes, but also supports the immune system with its vitamin C content and promotes wound healing. The vitamin also plays an important role in strong bones and the production of collagen, which is important for beautiful skin and firm connective tissue.
Even smarter
For the vegan alternative, the cream can also be prepared on a chickpea base instead of cream cheese. For this, the cooked chickpeas must be pureed and diluted with water as required. Then prepare the cream as described.
