It was last afternoon that I decided against cooking lunch for myself, and had this delicious Veg -n- Fruit Salad filled with goodness and health. As with a salad, most of the ingredients are not measured but decided more by availability and one's palate ! Slightly chilled veggies and fruits works best, unless its freezing out there!
Ingredients: (Single serve)
-
Cabbage - loosely shredded - 1 cup
-
Tomatoes roughly chopped - 1 no.
-
Onions (ok, the prices have dropped) ! - chopped - 1 no (optional)
-
Sweet corn - 1 cup (I love this, so shredded it right off the cob)
-
Cucumber - roughly diced - ½ cup
-
Carrots - diced lengthwise - ¼ cup
-
Watermelon - roughly diced - ½ cup
-
Lime juice - 1 tablespoon (or more if you prefer)
-
Black salt - ½ tsp
-
Rosemary and oregano - a pinch each (Optional)
-
Freshly ground pepper - ½ tsp
-
chopped fresh coriander / cilantro & mint leaves - 1 teaspoon each
Method:

Transfer to a large bowl ...
Sit back, relax and enjoy the crunchy Salad !
