Salmon with roasted cauliflower and chickpeas and yogurt dressing
Dinner is perhaps the best meal of the day, because you take more time for it and spend it with family or friends. Salmon with roasted vegetables is just the thing for dinner. Salmon scores with healthy, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that have anti-inflammatory properties. The tasty yoghurt dressing is light and seasoned with turmeric, which is also said to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The vitamin-rich, low-calorie cauliflower is well digestible for the stomach and intestines and the chickpeas full of protein and fibers. Especially practical: you can use the remains of the roasted vegetables directly as lunch the next day.
