Nutritional values
Muscles, nerves and bones benefit from Halloumi, because the veggie favorite is rich in the mineral calcium. The grilled cheese also offers a lot of proteins for the repair of cells and the production of connective tissue. The immune system is also happy to get enough protein. Dietary fiber and essential oils from Onions provide for a healthy intestinal flora and thus for a well-functioning digestion. Potassium, B vitamins and vitamin C are also found in the tubers.
For even more satiating fiber, we recommend using couscous in the whole-grain variety. You can buy it in organic food stores and well-stocked supermarkets. Alternatively, millet or quinoa are also suitable.

Wash spinach and spin dry. Clean red cabbage, wash and cut into fine strips. Clean the spring onions, wash and cut into thin rings.
