Carrot Olive Salad

Hi All,

Today I decided to do a healthy salad with Carrots.Yes, carrot is a very healthy vegetable packed with lots of nurients. 100 gms of carrort will give you a 40 calories (which seems to be less compared to potato chips and all the junk food) but in every hundred grams it has 3 g of fiber,1 g of protien, 33 mg of calcium and 93% of vitamin A. Likewise lettuce and olive has lots of nutrients too.

The salad dressing that I have used in this recipe can be be made quickly and can be used in most of the salad you want to make. Alright, eat healthy and enjoy life!!

Ingredients:
2 to 3 medium sized Carrots
10 to 12 olives
4 leaves of lettuce
Almonds soaked in water and peeled (for decoration)

Serves: 2 people

Dressing:
2 table spoon of olive oil
1 clove of garlic
Juice from 1/2 lemon
Pepper

Method:
  • Cut the garlic and soak in olive oil along with the lemon juice and pepper half an hour before you make the salad.
  • Wash the carrot thoroughly and grate.
  • Cut the olive into half.

  • Serving:
  • Arange the lettuce leafs as a bed in a bowl.

  • Add the carrots and olives.

  • Pour the salad dressing on top of the salad.

  • Decorate with the almonds.

  • Note:
    You could add a pinch or two of salt for taste. This salad is colorfull and will be like by children too.
