Nutritional Information:

For your health: Tomatoes are good sources of vitamin C. Cucumber gives that healthy crunch to the dish. In replace of the salt content, the sausages are used, as well as the barbecue sauce. Tips: - If you will be using canned tomatoes, you'd have to lose the sausages. - For vegetarians, the recipe works well without the sausage. However, do not use soy substitutes. - Do not use margarine. Butter works best and is a much healthier choice. Olive oil is good too.
