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 more about that in a different post 🙂

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.

*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.

  5. 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 😀
