Nutritional values

The beans offer plenty of protein and fibre. They also cover half of the daily requirement of the "beautifier" vitamin biotin. By the way, don't be afraid of the fat in salmon: it consists almost exclusively of valuable fatty acids that do nothing but good for the body.

Wax beans are particularly tender and therefore ideal in salads, but have only a short season. If you can't get them fresh, take wax beans from a can or simply double the amount of green beans.
