Salads are one of the most healthy ways to eat vegetables and fruits. I must confess that salads are not usually part of my meals.

But I realize that they can be such a healthy addition to a meal. We don’t have to keep cooking the veggies which usually reduces their nutritional value. Just like this carrot salad which went so well as a side dish for dal-rice combination that I prepared for lunch.
