Summer Salad



Made a simple Summer Salad. I have used a few ingredients that I had available. You can use your choice of ingredients. Aragula can be substituted with lettuce or baby spinach. Add shredded carrots or cabbage. You can use any bean like kidney bean or black beans (Protein component of your salad)! Use any light vinaigrette dressing.



After making a protein rich fare with lentils and legumes last month, Palooza in a Pan picked Salads for the month of July. Don't forget to check the Salads from me and my friends Anu and Radhika
