Vegetable salad recipe with step by step photos. Sharing a very delicious, healthy and crunchy vegetable salad recipe, very apt for summer.

The temperature is roaring and soaring here, it is already like peak of summer even before the beginning of April. Vegetable salad recipes are much sought after during summer.  This vegetable salad recipe is very easy to make, so healthy and light on tummy.One can make vegetable salad in 100 different ways, the options are endless. I always make some kind of raita or vegetable salad to go with our everyday meal and it is a must during summer. So I am always on lookout for more vegetable salad recipe and ideas. I saw this interesting vegetable salad recipe, Ruchi Bharanis recipe and was so tempted to try.

A very colorful vegetable salad recipe with loads of veggies, sprouts and fried noodles (optional). The dressing is a sweet and salty one. I loved the idea of adding some crunch factor to the vegetable salad recipe very much. I however did not add fried noodles. I never stock up on noodles and I don’t prefer noodles in a healthy salad recipe. I deep fried some millet sevai and added to the vegetable salad. The fried sevai tasted wonderful in this salad recipe. The dressing used for vegetable salad recipe is also a very delicious one. However if you are planing to pack this vegetable salad in tiffin, I suggest you send fried sevai separately, just to be mixed before eating.  You can chop all the veggies and keep in fridge, mix the dressing and add fried sevai just before serving.

To make vegetable salad recipe I have added veggies like purple cabbage, carrots, colored bell peppers and cucumbers. You can also add onions, baby corns, lettuce etc. Moong sprouts are added for more nutrition and some crunch. Coarsely crushed peanuts are my favorite in this veg salad recipe, you can add crushed walnuts or almonds too. For sweet and salty dressing, honey, chili flakes, salt,lemon juice and vinegar are used. Serve vegetable salad immediately once you add fried sevai. You can serve this veg salad as a snack or side dish.
