Exotic vegetable salad Recipe

Posted On December 15, 2018

It’s a wedding season in India and I have just come back from my cousin’s marriage. For whole one week, I munched on a lot of unhealthy and heavy oily food. So after a long wedding week, I think of making a fresh and healthy salad which helps to detox my body. This recipe is prepared with lots of exotic vegetables and honey based dressing. It is healthy and tasty and can be eaten every day. This vegetable salad is also best for dieting because of lower in calories and fats and higher in nutrients like vitamins, iron, minerals, etc. If you are on diet, you can exclude honey from the seasoning, because it contains a lot of calories.
