Nutrition

Broccoli aids the immune system with a lot of vitamin C, supposedly protects against diabetes and cancer. Cranberries are not only said to have a beneficial effect on the urinary organs, but also to slow down the aging process. Pineapple contains a lot of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. I could go on with the ingredients, but I think it has become clear: This recipe is healthy - and tasty!

Step 4

Lay the salad on a plate, pour the dressing over it.
