Healthy, because
The relatively low-fat scallops shine with a lot of high-quality protein and therefore become a great luxury food for athletes and for all those who want to eat healthy. The mussels also contain the trace element zinc, which plays an important role in the immune system and makes skin and hair shine.
Even smarter
A light pasta salad or a fresh leaf salad can be served with the scallops to match the barbecue season. Try our pesto pasta salad with grilled tomatoes and mozzarella or the Mexican pasta salad with spicy jalapeños.
