"Iron Man" quinoa salad

After Spring quinoa salad, here you are the Iron man dedicated one:
  • quinoa is a pseudocereal rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and iron (4.6 mg per 100 gr);
  • cannellini beans, like other legumes, contain a good quantity of iron (4.5 mg per 100 gr);
  • dried tomatoes are a considerable source of iron (9.1 per 100 gr);
  • and, last but not least, vitamin C contained in bell peppers (166 mg per 100 gr) is really helpful to absorb all non-heme iron above mentioned.
Should I add something to explain the reason why I chose that name for this salad?
