Greek salad recipe


Salads have been the most important part of any country, each one has its own version and variety. Today I am exploring this Mexican salad. Tastes delicious, it’s wholesome, full of protein, fibre, flavourful and healthy. What else can one ask for? Have this Greek salad just a bowl and you are done.

This particular salad is made with boiled chickpea and feta cheese. A whole lot of veggies are also added with a salad dressing to enhance the flavour. I have been a fan of this wholesome salad since I ate this, my son drools over this.

Dressing in this salad should be added only before serving, otherwise, the salad will turn soggy. One can mix all the given ingredients and refrigerate them and add the dressing while serving.

Peanut salad


Create Healthy Habits

Not Restrictions”

Peanut is also mungphali, badam, shengdana and many more as India is a country of different languages. Peanut or mungphali were highly recommended by our ancestors to include in our diet or just have them as timepass. Did you ever imagine why? As they knew the health benefits this peanut/mungphali gave.

Peanut salad

I remember munching on peanuts while catching my local train to work, cheap and healthy and one more thing to note it supported our local vendors. Can’t forget how during rainy season vendors would sit with this small basket of peanuts and kept them warm with little coal burning around.

Have peanuts /mungphali in any form boiled or roasted it works well with the body. Only thing is burn your calories as well, as ancestors never settled they kept working be it our grannies or grandpa.

I think this is one of the best ways to indulge kids in eating salad in the name of peanuts 😆
