Description

Cucumber relish salad with cheese dressing . A salad I came up with when I had to have a grand spread on the table for lunch when my brother visited my place after three years on a holiday to India with his family from United Kingdom . The food habits that the NRI people follow does challenge you a lot at times . I had to come up with four different salads with each tasting different making sure not to repeat the vegetables used as well . Some how I managed to pull it of and this cheesy fatty culprit did shine among the four salads on display ending with a clean whipped empty bowl that was removed after the lunch . The difficulty in putting up a salad is that it’s not a melting one pot dish with flavors let to infuse into each other . In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables – the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers so on so forth to maintain each of their identity along with a dressing that marries each one of the vegetables used perfectly . You have to be prepared to appreciate the difference in taste , texture and color . Gear up people for a mouth full of different munching .
