Refreshing by Nature - The Endless Appeal of Salads.

Salads are undeniably the popular choice during the sizzling summer months.

Picture this: A bowl brimming over with an assortment of fresh, vibrant colors that crunch delightfully with each bite. Any time of day is perfect for a cool, crisp salad. More than just a refreshing respite from the heat, salads assembled with raw fruits and vegetables are a powerhouse of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and fiber that promote overall health, while their high water content aids hydration. But few can live on light salads: proteins are needed too yet animal proteins can be problematic. Cheese can melt or spoil or simply feel too heavy; meat needs to be cooked, which involves being in the hot kitchen, stirring and cutting, as the room heats up.

Canned Legumes from Europe are the perfect choice.

"Salads celebrate the changing seasons like no other dish," said Giovanni De Angelis, ANICAV's General Director. "Harness the creative joy of mixing and matching ingredients based on their seasonal availability and enjoying, in the meantime, vegetable proteins. Add to fresh salad the intriguing magic of different EU canned legumes. Just open the tin and the culinary journey that salads offer will be indeed more varied and vibrant as the seasons themselves."
