Writing this article brings back numerous memories. This salad has always been the one of my best memories of my childhood (I was an anti-social child and had a great obsession for food),and growing up with it, I must say it is highly addictive. Once you had it, you just continue to crave for more and before you knew it, you already had at least 3 servings!

As far as my memory span goes, I would often remember coming home from school all sweaty and ravenous for food. But being overwhelmed from the blazing sun, I was extremely reluctant to make my way to the kitchen. Despite my sluggish behavior, I had to give in. Upon hearing the rumbling commands of my stomach, I could not resist from fulfilling the requirements and hence I had to go and scavenge through my fridge. What laid there was beyond my imagination (No, not really) and you might have guessed it, my beloved salad. DE-LI-CIOUS!! It quenched, it boosted and it fulfilled. Therefore, making it an appropriate recipe to fit this compilation.

The dish is quite eye-catching with it’s mix of varying colors, making it definitely appetizing. It is also a great healthy food option with its low fat content and high volume of vegetables! If you are being health conscious this summer, perhaps this is the food for you!
