Hi R,
Here are some simple salads that I make:

Roasted corn and Tomato salad.

Fozen corn kernels- 1 cup
Tomatoes - cherry - 1 cup sliced (you can use more than one color)
Garlic - whole pod
Olive oil or regular oil - 1 tbsp
Salt as per taste
Chilly flakes - 1/2 tsp (more if needed)

Roast the corn on regular tava on med high heat till well done and slightly blackend. Meantime, slice the head of the whole garlic pod and dribble some oil and bake in oven till well done (when you squezee the pod you should get the mushy paste). Remove corn and allow to cool. Mix the tomatoes with conr and the garlic paste. Add salt and red chilly flakes and oil. Mix well and serve. This is a very tasty salad and goes great with sandwiches.

Simple cucumber salad.

Cucumber seedless- skinned and cut into chunks- 1 cup
Tomatoes- cut into chunks - 1/2 cup
Chat masala - 1 tsp
Salt - as per taste
Lemon Juice
Mix cucumber and tomatoes. Add the chat masala, salt and lemon juice. Mix and serve immediately.

Thanks

Thanks, Suba's mommy. Will surely give a try.

.......................

Here are a few salads which I tried.

Considering the qty, I add the standard vegetables like onion, cucumber, tomato and grated or cut carrot.

Alongwith the above, you can try different combinations like one day, can add sprouted, half boiled or just sprouted whole moong;
second combination is adding boiled peanut or skinless sliced almonds and the third one is to add boiled channa or sprouted half boiled white channa. Finally, can add cooked macaroni too!!

These are all the experiments I tried and my fly. loved all of them incl. my kids. Maybe for kids, can add some paneer pieces.

For your taste, can add cut green chillies(throw them before you serve), jeera powder, pepper powder, haldi, coriander leaves, hing, and salt.

The above salads are very simple and can be done even at the last moment.

Bye.

That is so nice of you, Khushi.

It would be better if more people participate and post their versions becoz salads are not like other dishes. There is no age limitations and it should be a part of our day today food.

Pls do post if you have any tested salads' recipes.

Thanks and Bye.
