Now onto the corn-peas-tomato salad.
Serves 2 (on the side)
Ingredients:
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.
– 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.

Hey Nags,
Im a biiig salad fan and “S” keeps looking at this pic(when i visit ur blog) and drooling over it !
Looks like I need to make it sooon
Rgds,
Sam !
A simple, colourful and healthy one
ya lot of strange things keep happening here. unexplained mysteries of the universe. can’t you love picasa also??:B
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.
My favorite salads are leftover salad. Grilled corn, eggplant. Or leftover onion marmalade and fresh asparagus. Tossed, mixed, eaten!
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)
Happy Birthday Nags!!
That is one colorful salad! Looks good.
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 😀 😀 hehe 😀
looks so colourful,..healthy too
Simply gr8………
beautiful, yummy salad. So colorful.
one of my fav salads, though i don’t add peas 🙂
guilty with that spread of food?? try upma or toast sometime for dinner and then feel guilty!! salad looks great!! nice colours!!
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. 🙂
Good lord! You feel bad when there is just one gravy and curry with rice!! You’re joking, right? 😀
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
“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 😛
A.
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 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 😀
guity with one gravy and curry?!! you’ve got to be kidding me.
Tasty and healthy salad
All my favourite ingredients…give me a plate of salad anyday :-)…and rachel, I don’t mind chomping away at green leaves 😀
I cannot have just salad for a meal! I remmber where at a dinner..the meal was a platter of salad leaves and a dressing….I felt like a rabbit going chomp chomp chomp!!:D
I like this because it isnt just leaves….very colourful!!
I’m not big on salads either but this looks so colorful and nice.
