Beets and Sprouts Salad

This is just an easy snack for those mid afternoon cravings! I know!!!! Salad for a mid afternoon craving??! Instead of those bar chocolates and short breads!

Not crazy!! I also served a slightly sweetened apple tea on the side, though it cant be a real substitute for chocolates and bread crisps, at least something sweet for the sad soul! :p :) It did help!

Just throw in together some beet sticks, some sprouts (I used alfalfa and bean) and mix in some olive oil, salt and pepper and squeeze some lemon on top. I dint have croutons then, that would've been good too! Serve fresh with some hot herbal tea!

Veggie sticks with Avacado dip!


 To make this you will need:

One big ripe Avacado, 1 chopped green chilli, abt 1/4 tsp black pepper powder, 1 tomato chopped into smal cubes, one small onion, chopped into small cubes, few cilantro leaves, chopped. salt to taste. juice of 1/2 a lemon and a tsp of Extra virgin olive oil. 


 Scoop out the pulp from avacado and mash it very well, combine all the other ingredients and mix well.

Serve with Carrot and beet sticks. This is a very healthy and tasty evening snack. Make sure you use a big avacado, or the dip wont be just enough! :)

Butter Crunch and Avocado salad

Hello there!

Avocados have a great nutritional value, though its a little high on calories.So I always find ways to use avocado without adding much sugar(Hmm... i must say avocado milk shake is one of my favorite drinks, tastes yum!) So I  made this salad as an accompaniment to lunch, turned out really well, N liked it too! And I was happy I found a way to use the remaining butter crunch leaves that I had.

Here goes the recipe:

Ingredients:

One whole avocado, skin peeled and cut into bite sized cubes.
One whole tomato Chopped
A handful of butter crunch leaves - chopped

For dressing:

1 tbsp  EVOO
2 tbsp  lemon juice
2 tsp Black pepper powder
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Just toss all the ingredients well together(except grated cheese) and top it with cheese. Healthy and attractive salad is ready!
