Tropical summer delight (salad)

This amazing low calorie dish brings together a variety of colour and natural flavours. This is ideal for weight watches and a wonderful way to beat the summer heat!


Ingredients:
(all cut into 1" long pieces of thickness 1 cm)

  • Purple cabbage - 50 gms
  • Pink water apples - 10
  • Carrots - 2 medium sized
  • Thin long cucumbers - 2
  • Red Capsicum - 1/2
  • Yellow Capsicum - 1/2
  • Tomatoes (de seeded) - 2 medium sized
  • Brocolli - 50 gms
  • Raw Mango (preferably of the totapuri variety) - 1/2
  • Green Chillies - 3
  • Olive oil - 1 tbsp
  • Black pepper powder - 2 tsp
  • Salt to taste
Method:
  • Mix all the vegetables together.
  • In a separate bowl, add olive oil, black pepper powder and salt. Whisk well and pour over the vegetables.
  • Stir and serve fresh.

Variation - 1. A tbsp of yellow mustard paste can be added.

2. Another variation would be to add hung curd instead of olive oil. A tsp of chat masala added to this will give out a very Indian flavour.
