EASY INDIAN VEGETABLE SALAD RECIPE-SALAD RECIPES

 Mixed vegetable salad
We think about salad recipes only when we think about diet or weight loss, Right?. Whenever I pack vegetable salad for Sendhil’s lunch box, his colleagues ask him “What Sendhil, diet aa “ ?? We all have this mind set. I too had the habit of eating salads only in buffet and banquets and I was making varieties of vegetable and sprouts salad recipes for Sendhil’s lunch only to cut down the intake of rice when he was under diet to overcome some health issues.

But nowadays, I have introduced salads in our daily routine just to consume raw vegetables in a healthy and tasty way. I must thank my friend Shalini for urging me to make salad by suggesting some easy & quick recipes.When I browsed for mixed vegetable salad recipes, I found most of them with celery & lettuce leaves. But I couldn’t get these vegetables in small shops nearby my house. So I tried this simple salad recipe in Indian style with vegetables we can get easily even in petty shops especially in India. I used just 1/2 tsp of olive oil for salad dressing which is completely optional. Other than this, this is a low calorie, basic, simple Indian vegetable salad which you can make in minutes. Do try this healthy, easy salad recipe for your kids and family. Stay healthy and fit !
