This is an easy to prepare salad which can be served as a snack. This is also an easy way to get your kids eat vegetables and get necessary nutrients.

You can vary vegetables as per preference. I just used basic ingredients which are easily available in the kitchen. I have used no chilly in making this as this was exclusively for kids. You can also add potato chips to make it more crunchy. I would call it a recipe for beginner as it involves no cooking or complex procedure. Also since it is light you can also eat it after a prolonged period of fasting and then proceed on to eat dinner. I usually make this as an evening snack and have it before my meal with a bowl of steaming hot soup.
