HEALTHY SALAD

Salad is part of every Indian meal.  Salads are made wth raw vegetables like cucumber, radish, beetroot, onions etc.  This salad i am presenting is slightly different.  You can make it within 5 minutes if you are fast in cutting veggies. It is slightly sauted and only salt and black pepper powder is added.  You can eat it just like that or can serve with roti, pulao etc.
