Nutritional values

In this country iodine is scarce - how good that shrimps provide plenty of it. Our thyroid gland needs the trace element to produce two vital hormones that regulate energy metabolism, among other things. Cucumbers are very rich in potassium and can therefore have a positive effect on blood pressure. In addition, the water-containing vegetable provides a large portion of moisture and ensures plump skin from the inside.

If you prefer to make the cucumber salad with Greek yogurt vegetarian, replace the shrimp with crispy fried cubes of smoked tofu. Alternatively, you can sprinkle the cucumber salad with Greek yogurt with a handful of crumbled feta.
