Nutritional values

Beans and cheese bring valuable, satiating protein into play. The green-white salad variation is therefore particularly suitable as a light dinner - not only as part of a low-carb diet. Despite the few calories, one portion covers about one third of the daily requirement of the two cell protection vitamins A and C!

The salad can be excellently prepared and taken with you - for example to work. If you plan to use it as a midday snack, eat a wholemeal roll with it so that the blood sugar level does not drop too much.
