Summer Salad

I didn't like the whole idea of salad when I was younger. Somehow, leaves, green, veggies didn't appeal much to me. When I got pregnant with my first born though, I suddenly developed a certain affinity to everything green and veggie-looking or tasting.

Nowadays, I even crave salad time and again. Hunting for great dressings is the other exciting part.

I discovered this absoloutely easy salad that anyone can whip anytime.

Tip: You can cover with cling film and refrigerate overnight.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon  chili powder (optional)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (8.75 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
1/2 cup green and red bell peppers (capsicums)
1/2 cup cucumber, chopped
2 tablespoons onion, minced

Serves 5-7 generous helpings

Procedure:
In a small bowl, mix vinegar, oil, salt, sugar, pepper, cumin and chili.

In a medium bowl, mix the rest of the ingredient except cilantro. Toss the vinegar mixture and garnish with cilantro.

Ta-da! Summer salad to enjoy!

*Bad habit of mine, I have salt on the side that I like to sprinkle on top of my portion as I love the tartiness of balsamic arguing sweetly with salt :)

    I'm No Chef but I love food like it's no one's business.

    I didn't know anything about cooking... frying an egg used to be a nightmare.. until I was forced to learn more... I had my first born... that's when my gastronomic journey started...

    Join me in my food quest.
    Laugh at my embarrassing moments.
    Share my triumphs.

    And if you're brave enough ... cook with me (ooooh scary!), virtually that is, and have the most enjoyable time!

    Welcome aboard
    fellow foodies!
