Sizzzzzling Salad

Finally, I am back with the healthier post...Its simple to make and is tasty, delicious and very very healthy and nutritious...Here is how I make a salad...


Ingredients:

Iceberg Salad - 1 whole chopped into large square pieces
Olive oil - 1 tsp
Wine vinegar - 4 tsp (You can use Balsamic vinegar too, but I like Wine vinegar)
Sunflower seeds - 3 tsp
Soya flakes - 2 tsp (optional)
Basilica and Tomato flavoured bread crumbs - few (optional)
Mustard paste - 1 tsp (optional)
Marine fine salt - As required (You can use marine spicy fine salt also)
A big bowl - Believe me it's a necessity

Preparation:

1. Put a pan in heat and add the sunflower seeds and dry roast the seeds just for few minutes, so that the colour is a little brown.
2. Take the large bowl, add the chopped salad leaves (I use iceberg salad but you can use any kind of salad, it depends on your taste. I like the crunchy taste of iceberg salad)
3. Add all the other ingredients in the bowl(except the bread crumbs), also the roasted seeds and then here is the trick for a great salad. Take two big flat spoons and start mixing the salad. Keep mixing at least for 5 minutes so that each salad leaf gets the same amount of salt, sourness and all the other spices. Only when the salad is mixed very well is the salad very tasty...Add bread crumbs if you are using and mix again.
4. Serve the delicious colourful salad in a bowl with a fork and knife.

Some more ingredients you can add to the salad is tomatoes and apples...Yes apples...they give a gr8 taste to the salad!!! So try your combination and let me know which ones you liked the best...

This is a very nutritious salad and with a home made salad dressing. This salad dressing has very less fat. And the basic concept of salad is that no boiling or cooking, so all the nutrients are kept intact. Eat this daily once and have your skin shining...Yes, thatz true!!! Enjoy!
