Kale Bhel Salad (Green Salad with an Indian Twist!)
As you may have already guessed, we are crazy for salads these days! So to make the everyday salads exciting, I make them with a different international flair each day. :) (Check out the Pad Thai Salad ) The nice thing about all these salads are that you can prep them ahead of time and assemble at the last minute. Kale Bhel salad is as tasty as it is healthy (mostly :-}) with a little addition of Bhel Puri Mix - an Indian snack mix readily available in Indian markets! Any crunchy veggie may be used in this salad. For the dressing, mix fresh lime juice with some green and sweet chutneys. Other greens also may be used in this salad. For a mild salad, remove the core from the hot chile or omit it altogether; if you like it spicy, leave the core and seeds in and/or use more chiles. Our family loves this salad; when I made the traditional Bhel Puri , it was not difficult to add a few more greens and veggies to make it healthier. If the little addition of the Bhel Mix helps ever...
