Another healthy recipe for the season when the produce is more fresh, affordable and best in taste. For the last few weeks I have been on a healthy streak, trying to control on the food and having a bowl of roughage with my lunch and dinner.
At times, I just have a look at the produce I have in my fridge, and come up with something or the other.
This time, with some recently purchased produce, I came up with this, Garden Salad with Peppers, Cabbage, Carrots and more.

Ymm,Only thing can carrots be tossed raw or thinly sliced rather than cooked .
ReplyDeleteIn this recipe, i have boiled the carrots, but you can thinly slice them as they will add an extra crunch to the whole salad and another texture as well.
