What colors were on your plate today?

Thank you Cindhuja. Hope to see you here daily with your multi colored meals.

 

Dear Senthan,
I am sorry I don't understand your question.

 

Dear Alpa,

glad to see you here. I have not tried water melon juice. In fact I dodge eating watermelon, papaya and a few others. Thanks for motivating me.

 

Thank you Saikripa. Hope you visit here often.

 

Thank you Barghavi for the colorful plate. I too have been having salads for the last few days. Hope to see you here often

 

Dear Cheerful,

This is the recipe for the salad that I had and like to share with all.

Of all the lettuce varieties, roamine lettuce and green or red leaf lettuce are said to have the most nutrients and the iceberg lettuce the least.

Green salad with fennel, pears and pine nuts

Combine lettuces and fennel in a salad bowl and cove with damp paper towels and refrigerate upto three hours, Add sliced pears pine nuts and dressing just before serving

3 cups romaine lettuce
2 cups torn butter lettuce
1 small fennel bulb trimmed and thinly sliced
2 medium red pears cored and finely sliced
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp fresh orange juice
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

If you don't have pine nuts, you can omit it. Try it, it is awesome.
