Exotic Salad

A meal of chapatti or pulka and sabzi is incomplete without a salad, be it simple sliced veggies or exotic combos in lavish dressing. I just enjoy trying various combinations of fruits and vegetables with different dressings or spices, while making salads. This salad, a combination of sweet papaya, slightly sour oranges and crunchy cucumber with simple spices indeed tastes exotic. Just try this out.

Ingredients:

Oranges – 3no, peeled and deseeded

Cucumber – 1no, cut into small cubes

Papaya – cubed, ½ teacup

Salt – to taste

Pepper corns – 4-5no

Mustard – ¼ teaspoon

Fresh coriander leaves – a few sprigs

Exotic Salad

Method: Peel, deseed the orange and remove the flesh. Peel, deseed the papaya and cut the flesh into cubes. Wash and cut cucumber into small cubes. Powder mustard seeds finely and grind pepper corns coarsely using the mortar and pestle. Mix the fruit pieces and cucumber cubes in a bowl. Add salt, pepper powder and mustard powder. Mix well with a fork. Garnish with coriander leaves. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Serve chilled.
