Salads are always very
refreshing and light and works really well during hot summers. Salads have
always been a regular on my menu back home where we used to eat salad even with
rice! My dad is a big fan of fresh salads and so I grew up eating them. But, Reju
is a hard core meat lover and so salads were not a very important part of the
menu until recently both of us became conscious of gaining weight and are now
trying our best to lose a few pounds! Hope that works! So salads have become a
very integral part of our menu now, and this particular salad is quite popular.
Both of us love it. It is very healthy and is also a treat to our taste buds.
This dish is extremely
refreshing since the dressing is made of yoghurt. For a change, you can make
something healthy and not compromise on the taste.
So here is the recipe
for Garden Fresh Salad
Ingredients
Vegetables - 2 cups
Yoghurt - 1/4 to 1/2
cup
Olive Oil - 1 tsp
Mustard powder/Mustard
paste - 1 to 2 tsp
Sugar - 1 tsp
Pepper powder - 1/2
tsp
Salt - to taste
Method
Beat the yoghurt well
and add olive oil, mustard powder/paste, sugar, pepper powder and salt. Combine
well. Now add the veggies and mix well so that the veggies are coated with the
yoghurt dressing. Refrigerate for 2 hours or more and serve chilled.
Notes: You can use
no/low fat yoghurt for the healthier version.
You can use any veggies you
like in this salad, though I strongly recommend celery, capsicum and spring
onions because it gives a very special flavour. I have used cucumber, carrot,
capsicum, purple cabbage, celery and lettuce.
