What are the benefits of dressing in salads?
The oil included in the vinaigrette would be beneficial to health as the fat in olive oil promotes the absorption of seven micronutrients such as vitamin E, vitamin K and vitamin A.
This study was conducted in the American Journal of Nutrition in 2017. The author of the study, Wendy White, explains that the intake of these micronutrients made it possible, among other things, to reduce the risk of cancer and preserve vision.
However, eating too much fat can also have harmful consequences.
