Verdant Salad with a Hint of Red


By Experiments,Emotions,Experiences with food (Visit website)



This is a healthy cabbage,bell pepper and bean coleslaw with a healthy avocado dressing. A much better dressing than the fat laden mayo. I have seen this verdant (green) salad at Nupur's place and have adapted it with almost no change.An easy to make salad and very hearty too. Only changes I made was the use of pink cranberry beans instead of the black beans and the addition of little red pepper along with the green pepper.


Ingredients:

Cooked Beans: 1/2 cup I used cranberry/pink beans

Cabbage: 1/2 cup or more thinly shredded

Green Pepper: 1 big thinly sliced

Red Pepper: thinly sliced: just a few pieces (optional)

Cilantro:Handful chopped/minced



Dressing:

Avocado: 1 big ripe one

Yoghurt: 1/2 cup or as per taste

Green Chilli: 1 hot or more as per taste minced

Onion/Shallots: 1-2 tbsp minced



Salt

Pepper

Lemon Juice



Preparation:

Blend together the dressing ingredients adding little salt and pepper.



Season the salad ingredients with salt,pepper and lemon juice. Pile on a plate/salad bowl and ladle the dressing on top.Mix well and consume adjusting the seasoning.


A simple salad,easy to make. We can say it is like a spicy coleslaw. Except that instead of the fatty mayo healthy avocado has been used. The salad is mostly green with hint of red seen in between. The dressing is spicy and lightly green. The pink beans and the red pepper add the hint of red.


A simple salad that allows you to finish your cooking faster in hot summer and healthy to eat.This healthy coleslaw is on way to NCR:Birthday Edition at Tinned Tomatoes, where we are allowed to make salads/soup based on the themes chosen during our birth months. My birthday falls in August and from the available August Themes - Carrots(NCR 2010), Peppers (NCR 2009) and Dressings (NCR 2008), I have chosen the Pepper theme and this salad with red& green pepper,peppercorns and chilli pepper  is apt for it.A hearty Thanks to Nupur for this hearty recipe .
