As I did for Christmas too, here are some ideas for a light Easter menu , which allows you to have a complete lunch from appetizer to dessert for a total of 650 calories.

The peculiarity of this menu? Despite the few calories, it is a light Easter menu full of seasonal vegetables, typical of the Easter period but also very purifying, and with white and lean meats.
Ideal for those who have to stay on a diet even during the holidays. Furthermore, the preparations are very simple.
