Healthy, because
With the slightly modified French salad classic you bring a full-fledged main meal on the table, which thanks to many herbs and chickpeas fills the iron stores in the body. It is particularly helpful if the vegetable iron also provides vitamin C: This increases the absorption of iron.
Even smarter
You don't want any eggs? Instead, you are welcome to put 1 can of tuna in its own juice or - especially low in calories - 200 g of cooked green beans over the salad.
