Instructions
- Boil the carrot, potato, peas and French beans. You could also microwave them till they are completely cooked.
- When the veggies are cooked, peel the potato and then chop the potato with the rest of the veggies. Alternatively, you can chop the veggies first and boil them later.
- We usually avoid doing the latter as when we chop the veggies and then boil them, some water- soluble vitamins and minerals are lost in the process. It is better to first boil them whole and then chop them.
- Chop the celery. mix the chopped veggies, celery with the mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
- Garnish the salad with lettuce leaves, tomato, cucumber, or capsicum slices.
Recipe Notes
Add chopped mint leaves while preparing dressing for nice flavor.
Yogurt should not be sour for best taste.
Add Mayonnaise of your choice and make it creamier.
