Salalds are great for the summer, aren’t they? What about a refreshing cold salad?
I was thinking of making yet another summer cooler today because it’s summer and hot. But then I had a change of mind because my almost 9 month old was sleeping. I didn’t want to wake him up with the roaring blender! Instead I made this gorgeous Watermelon Salad with cucumber and feta cheese.
It’s sweet, it’s crunchy, it’s cold – in all it is simply an awesome salad. The hint of salt from the feta cheese and the beautiful honey and lime dressing adds all the necessary zing.
I am sure you will like this combination this summer! It is so soothing for the eyes!

Hey let me know if you liking the clean eating theme and the clean recipes! Would love to hear from you.
I am going bonkers over Oats these days. Made these Ultra Healthy Oats and Banana cookies the other day and they turned out super yum.
They are gluten free, butter free, sugar free – super duper healthy, I say!
All the sweetness comes from bananas topped with goodness of walnuts and raisins. And this is really what I call clean eating – no chocolate chip in my cookie and yet they are yumtastic!
I used to hate oats at one time – yeah really hate oats – I felt it tastes like vomit. That was when I was sticking to only making porridge! But when I started experimenting with oats I got to know how good and tasty it can be. And how many wonderful things you can make out to oats! Here’s how I made these Ultra-Healthy Oats and Banana cookies!
It is super-hot outside and there’s nothing better than the cool cucumber slices to bring some relief. The Tangy Cucumber and Lettuce Salad Bowl is the right accompaniment in every meal this summer.
The sight of it is so refreshing and cooling to the eyes that you feel happy. I am eating clean this entire April because a. it’s my theme for the month b. I don’t feel like eating anything spicy or sweet or anything. If I could simply survive on juices and water I would probably do that now!
We did have some rain yesterday which was a big relief. Find out my Tangy Cucumber and Lettuce Salad Bowl which is perfectly summer ready!
Do you like sweet potato? No? D you like carrots? No? They are tasteless? What if I tell you they taste yum in the Sweet Potato and Carrot soup. Believe me, it was a yum mild warm soup and totally healthy.
Seriously, I never liked sweet potato but I have some in my refrigerator because I give that to my son sometimes. So I thought why not make a soup for myself for my healthy eating month.
HEALTH BENEFIT
Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, which is also found in carrots They are also a very good source of vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid, and vitamin B6. They provide potassium, dietary fiber, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and phosphorus. I am using extra virgin olive oil and no butter

Roasted vegetable salad is perfect for a filling lunch or quick supper. Potato, leek, carrots, cauliflower you can add vegetables of your choice. Ready under 35 mins.
Vegetables tend to get boring for me. Specially if you are having a curry – that’s like the go to recipe of most Indian households. There are tonnes of variations of a vegetable curry, though. But I wanted to enjoy vegetables in a better way. Thought of roasting them, for a change, and making a salad out of it! Roasted Vegetable Salad sounds interesting, isn’t it?
I was famished this morning and didn’t have much time. This Quick Avocado and Egg Open Sandwich saved my day.
My house help didn’t turn up and my little munchkin wanted me to be with him. But this open sandwich is so easy to make that I got this done in flat 5 mins. Yes that’s all it takes.
The pear and lettuce salad is the fresh and crunchy twist to the otherwise boring salad bowl. It’s drizzled with tangy balsamic vinegar and topped with toasted walnuts for the added crunch. It’s ready under 5 minutes.
I am loving salads these days. The Pear and Lettuce Salad is just the one I needed this afternoon to beat the heat and get in some portion of healthy food. It is even better with the toasted walnuts.
