Salads are soul food and the best way to lose weight. Salads don't mean adding few boring green leaves and beans in a bowl and then you munching it with no interest. Salad dressings, when added to the salads, can make them a complete meal. A lot of salad dressings are available in the market but most of them are loaded with preservatives and sugars. A bigger problem comes in an Indian household where still its not a concept to have salad as a meal and as nowadays a lot of Indians are also going on weight loss mission and making all American dressings at times become a challenge as we, Indians as a culture are not used to salads, we are more used to the chutneys and pickles. So what we do? Well search in your own kitchen and make Indian salad dressing for the Indian Salads with ingredients which we eat locally. No lettuce, China cabbage or broccoli or zucchini ( I don't say they are not good) but In India, it is still hard to make the whole family eat all of these veggies.
