💡 Smart Nutritional Guidance
Consumption advice
Drink it chilled from a glass or small bowl at the start of the meal; its fibre and liquid fill much of the stomach and help control your appetite for the main course.
Best preparation methods
It is made by blending ripe tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper, garlic and extra virgin olive oil with sherry vinegar; leave out the white bread to keep it as light as possible.
Important Nutritional Note
It offers a remarkable balance of water and potassium with a pure dose of lycopene and vitamin C, helping protect the skin from sun damage and reduce fluid retention.
