Corn Peas Tomato Salad

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 taste
How 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.

  8. Nags,for lazy bums like me, it is inspiring to see someone who manages to churn out three dishes every day, after work!

  10. 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. :-)

  16. 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

  18. My favorite salads are leftover salad. Grilled corn, eggplant. Or leftover onion marmalade and fresh asparagus. Tossed, mixed, eaten!
