Sometimes a detox diet is the way to go…after horrendously torturing the little tummy with loads of butter, cheese, fried food, and gallons of tea and coffee, the tummy needs a break 🙂

I wanted to go on a detox diet for sometime, but couldn’t really get to it. I still haven’t 🙂 but will get there soon…

But atleast to start with, I’ve started supplementing my snacks with healthy salads. Rather than munching on digestive biscuits with tea in the evening, I thought of replacing it with a fresh salad which is easy to make and tastes good as well.

Ingredients:
1 cucumber,
1 carrot,
1 tomato,
1 onion (optional, I’ve not used),
1 tsp grated cottage cheese or regular cheese,
1/2 tsp sesame seeds,
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil,
Salt and pepper to taste.

Method:

  1. Wash and peel the vegetables and set aside.
  2. Make very thin slices of cucumber. Leave it in a plate, allowing the water to come off.
  3. With a peeler, make thin ribbons out of the carrot.
  4. Make thin slices of tomato and onions
  5. In a bowl, mix all the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
  6. To serve, place the salad in the center of the plate. Sprinkle cottage cheese and sesame seeds and drizzle olive oil all over the salad.
