Owing to my husband's taste in Lemon, cilantro and mint , I thought of preparing a yummy yet healthy dinner tonight. Outcome is this delicious salad which I thought would post on my blog.
Needed:
1. Beetroot - 1
2. Shredded carrot - 1/4 cup
3. Spinach - 1/2 cup
4. Bean sprouts - 1/2 cup
5. Red capsicum - 1/2
6. Cashew - 6
7. Raisins - 6
8. Onion -1/2
9. Mint leaves - 4
10. Cilantro / Coriander - 2 strands
11. Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
12. Salt - 1/2 tablespoon
13. Sugar - 1/2 tablespoon
14. Thousand island ranch - 2 tablespoons
15. Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
Method:
1. Fry cashew, raisins, onion and red capsicum in olive oil till they turn brown.
2. Boil spinach in 1/4 cup water for ten minutes, drain and keep it aside.
3. Cut beet root into small cubes and boil in 1/2 cup water mixed with salt and sugar till the beet gets soft.
4. Add roasted capsicum, spinach, beet, onions, cashews and raisins to a big bowl. To this mixture add shredded carrots, sprouts, chopped Ming leaves, cilantro, lemon juice and ranch, mix all the contents gently without smashing to retain salad texture.
5. Add salt and pepper as desired to get the required taste.
I served the above salad with some boiled eggs and there goes my healthy recipe.
