Healthy, because
The salad consists of more than 90 percent water, yet it scores points with plenty of immune-boosting vitamin C. The cucumber is full of healthy ingredients such as fistein, which supports brain performance. Bitter substances activate digestive juices and enzymes of the liver, bile and pancreas.
Even smarter
Do you love Romana as much as we do? Then you should take a look at our cookbook for the fresh romaine salad. No matter whether you enjoy the recipe as a crisp lunch with a slice of bread or as a side dish to grilled food - the salad is always a hit. As a variation similar to the Ceasar salad, you can grate some parmesan over the finished salad.
