Saga of the raw veggies!

It was a fine Saturday noon. I had just returned home after a long run inside a beautiful Jungle which is little away from the city. After a leisurely and good hydro-therapy, my tummy growled for some food. Lunch was yet to be prepared and I was, like always, in no mood to eat the usual. Moreover, I had spent the morning with almost 70 people - most of them extremely fit. Well! It was playing a trick - I wanted to eat a healthy meal, however a tasty and a really quick one.

Rummaged my kitchen and found the following:

INGREDIENTS:

Vegetables: Of your choice - I had used shredded cabbage and some spinach leaves. Add carrot, red and green capsicum, cucumber, tomato, thinly sliced onions, coriander leaves.

Dressing: Olive oil (2 tbsp), Salt, Roasted chilli flakes, Black pepper powder, Mixed herbs (alternatively add some roasted and powdered jeera/ cumin seeds, basil), Honey (1 tbsp), Juice of half or one lemon, 2 pods of crushed garlic

METHOD:

Step 1: In a bowl, add all the ingredients listed under dressing, mix it well and make the dressing.

Step 2: Throw in all the veggies in another bowl, add the dressing, toss well.

That's it! 

P.S.: In case you have someone who pulls a face at the mention of salads, do the following:

i) Add some cottage cheese/ paneer (mashed/ grated) to the salad.

ii) Place it in between two slices of bread (brown preferably).

iii) Grill it with just a touch of butter or toast it on a skillet to make a sandwich.

iv) Feed that bugger with the same salad that he refused to touch :D - He will not be able to resist the sandwich, it's a bet! ;) See how yummy it looks............
