Healthy, because
This cheesy appetizer has a hearty, spicy taste and a high calcium content. This mineral is indispensable for strong bones and healthy teeth. It also performs important tasks for blood, nerves, and muscles.
Even smarter
A red tomato salsa goes very well with the flat cakes. It tastes wonderfully fresh and contains hardly any calories. The tomatoes also provide us with the red dye lycopene, which acts as a radical scavenger and renders aggressive molecules harmless.
