Some days we just feel like taking a break from elaborate cooking. Today it’s been raining since morning . Gloomy weather calls for some warm salad that is nutritous and quick to make. I made this delicious Boiled beets and Barley salad. There is no fancy dressing but it is a typical desi style salad to suit my palate.
What is a Salad?
Salad consists of especially small pieces of food mostly comprising Veggies and fruits. These days people add nuts, seeds,non veg ,dressings etc to make it more fancy and appealing.

She has made a delicious salad with barley for this theme.I was paired with Priya Iyer who is an amazing blogger and has many delicious recipes on her blog. I gave her two secret ingredients Onion and Honey and she gave me Lemon juice and Barley.She made this insanely delicious Thai Mango Salad.
