Winterized Summer Salad


One of our family's favorite way to eat veggies is a salad. Cold salads in winter is not anyone's idea of a great meal.I usually dress up the salads to make them more appealing even in winters.  My base vegetables are usually the same old lettuce, different
peppers,cucumber, carrots ,olives,avacados and to make my salad, a meal, I  add different kinds of beans. Using beans in a salad makes the salad more filling and adds, that much needed,extra  dietary fiber. Check the picture below to see my salad transformation.



  Salad topped with hummus,Greek yogurt, two to three crushed baked veggie chips for the crunch ,one tablespoon shredded cheese and last but not least Tomatillo salsa. Now, salsa can be store bought or home made .We usually make a huge batch of salsa that lasts us a week, the recipe of which, will follow soon. Right now enjoy this summer salad in winter just like we do !
