Fruity, Veggie, Peanut Salad

This healthy, protein packed salad is very easy to make and tastes heavenly. All you need is some peanuts, some spices, lots of veggies and fruits.


My nephew K completed the board of review for his eagle scout and is now officially an Eagle.  There will be a Court of Honor ceremony on Sunday, where he will receive his badge.  My sister had asked me to send her some simple salad recipes  to serve at the reception after the ceremony.  So I made this yummy salad for her.  A, this tastes absolutely delicious. Congratulations K and enjoy your day!



Method:
Boil the peanuts with or without the skin in a pressure cooker with some water.  Cook for 3 whistles or till tender. Use chick peas, if you are allergic to nuts. Cut, chop and grate the vegetables and fruits.  You can use green pepper, red pepper, cucumber, carrot, tomato, green apple and  pear.  Mix in the peanuts.  Add salt, pepper, chat masala and chopped fresh coriander leaves. Squeeze in some lemon juice.  Mix well.  Leave it for 15 minutes and serve.


I am also sending this to Divya's show me your salad event.
