Dein Salat braucht Fett!

You need fat to carry vitamins A, D, E and K into your bloodstream where they can be absorbed. Without fat, your body can’t absorb vitamin D, an important fat soluble vitamin that can help prevent osteoporosis. The vitamin K in your leafy greens, for example, won’t be absorbed unless you eat them with some fat. (Ann Yelmokas McDermott,Professor of nutrition, USA). Source:  DW – Fit & gesund’s Page

What about…dress your salad with a touch of yogurt? olive oil and sprinkle nuts? seeds cheese on top. yum yumm yumm.
