I am not much of a salad person. I mean, I do like them but not as a meal in itself. Most of the salads are ones I make as an accompaniment to the main course. Because of this I don't spend much time on them, especially the dressing. After beginning to work, I find myself pressed for time to make dinner and I feel bad when there is just one gravy and one curry with rice. TH never complains but still I feel guilty. So salads like these are my solution! I sometimes fill the gap with raita too, but about that in a different post :)
Now onto the salad.What I Used:
Serves 2 (on the side)
Boiled Corn kernels - 1 cup
Boiled peas - 1/2 cup
Finely chopped onions - 1/2 cup
Finely Chopped tomatoes - 1/2 cup
Minced garlic - 1/4 tsp (1-2 cloves)
Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp (I used white)
Lime juice - 1 tbsp (or to taste)
Salt - to tasteHow I Made It:
1. Mix the salt, garlic and pepper with the lime juice.
2. Mix all the veggies well and add the above lime juice mixture 10 minutes before serving.
*Notes*
- I sometimes mix this with plain steamed rice and serve it as a rice dish. It looks colorful and is a welcome change from just plain rice.
- This salad is also good for making rolls with chapatis. To hold the salad together, you can add some light mayonnaise.

All my favourite ingredients...give me a plate of salad anyday :-)...and rachel, I don't mind chomping away at green leaves :-D
Tasty and healthy salad
guity with one gravy and curry?!! you've got to be kidding me.
I'm not big on salads either but this looks so colorful and nice.
I love salads! I love leaves. And I love thick, creamy dressings as much as I love light ones.
And I echo Lakshmi, guilty with one curry, one gravy and rice after work? Girl, you've got to get real and feel better about yourself :-D
So colorful! Yes, N has got me into this whole 'colorful' groove these days :) And abt the okra fry with peanuts, she told me that its a specialty at the college where she did her Masters :)
"I feel bad when there is just one gravy and one curry with rice"
There is no emoticon to express what I feel... You are wayyyyy too modest :P
A.
Nags,for lazy bums like me, it is inspiring to see someone who manages to churn out three dishes every day, after work!
The day I make dal, dry sabzi and a gravy dish, I keep beaming proudly at everyone around:D
Good lord! You feel bad when there is just one gravy and curry with rice!! You're joking, right? :D
hi Nags, great colourful and simple salad. I can so identify with the guilty feeling when there is only 1 gravy and 1 subji! Even if it is just rotis, one dal/gravy and two dry subjis have to be there. :-)
guilty with that spread of food?? try upma or toast sometime for dinner and then feel guilty!! salad looks great!! nice colours!!
one of my fav salads, though i don't add peas :)
beautiful, yummy salad. So colorful.
Simply gr8.........
looks so colourful,..healthy too
I like this salad.
And one curry and one gravy is the mystandard style of cooking with salad occasionally thrown in.
I haven't felt guilty so far!:)
ok, before anyone else jumps on me for saying i feel guilty with one gravy one curry, let me just say that at home my mom normally makes gravy and 2 curries plus rice and papadom and occasionally a fish fry too! now its changed cuz she claims she is old and unable to do the same. but somehow i want to start there too, so that later in life i can cut it down and say once i did so much for you :D :D hehe :D
That is one colorful salad! Looks good.
Happy Birthday Nags!!
My favorite salads are leftover salad. Grilled corn, eggplant. Or leftover onion marmalade and fresh asparagus. Tossed, mixed, eaten!
like i always say these days nags... it sounds colourful!! :(
its a mystery why i can't see your images? btw... are you using flickr??? cos then that would explain... flickr is banned in UAE.
Phew! Yes i use flickr. but banned in UAE?? Really?! I can understand Orkut being banned there but Flickr? I love flickr (no so much Yahoo! though :D)
