Healthy Salads in my plate are always welcome. More colourful it is , happier I am. To make it more interesting I dress up my salads with a number of healthy dressings like this one. This dressing is creamy ( made without cream ), has the subtle flavour of garlic which when combined with the peppery and mildly sweet flavour of Basil makes a perfect mild aromatic dressing, that can be used for salads, burgers & sandwiches.
Now that the festive season has just begun, there will be more get togethers and parties. While festivities are a good excuse to indulge try to add something healthy too. Next time you are having a get together at home use the this dressing / dip to whip a quick and interesting salad for your health conscious friends.
It’s not a Diet , It is called Healthy Eating
This dressing / dip is easy to make, can be made a day or two in advance and stored in the fridge, and goes well with Spicy starters, fried finger food and even carrot and cucumber sticks.
- Put all the ingredients of the dressing / dip in a wet grinder and blend well, till you get a creamy dressing / dip. Store the dressing in a bottle in the fridge.
- For Salad, finely chop purple cabbage , with a spiral cutter and cut cucumber and carrot. If you do not have a spiral slicer , you can also grate cucumber & Carrot. Cut the tomato into four or eight pieces.
- Mix all the vegetables together, season with salt and pepper and drizzle 2 teaspoon Garlic and Basil dressing. If you are preparing the salad in advance , keep the dressing and salad separately in the fridge. Drizzle the dressing just before serving.
Looks refreshing!
