It was last afternoon that I decided against cooking lunch for myself, and had this delicious Veg -n- Fruit Salad filled with goodness and health. As with a salad, most of the ingredients are not measured but decided more by availability and one’s palate ! Slightly chilled veggies and fruits works best, unless its freezing out there!
Ingredients: (Single serve)
-
Cabbage – loosely shredded – 1 cup
-
Tomatoes roughly chopped – 1 no.
-
Onions (ok, the prices have dropped) ! – chopped – 1 no (optional)
-
Sweet corn – 1 cup (I love this, so shredded it right off the cob)
-
Cucumber – roughly diced – 1/2 cup
-
Carrots – diced lengthwise – 1/4 cup
-
Watermelon – roughly diced – 1/2 cup
-
Lime juice – 1 tbsp (or more if you prefer)
-
Black salt – 1/2 tsp
-
Rosemary and oregano – a pinch each (Optional)
-
Freshly ground pepper – 1/2 tsp
-
chopped fresh coriander / cilantro & mint leaves – 1 tsp each
Method:
-
Roughly chop all the veggies and fruit.

Mix well – do not toss more than twice or thrice. You may add seasonal fruits / veg as preferred. Citrus fruits work especially well.

Add lime juice and salt. Now add Rosemary, Oregano and Pepper.

Garnish with Coriander and Mint leaves.
-
Transfer to a large bowl …
Sit back, relax and enjoy the crunchy Salad !
