Mediterranean Salad

August 28, 2018 S Malik 2 Comments

This Mediterranean Salad is a take on fattoush salad, which usually has fried pita chips on top but here I skipped them in order to make this salad wheat free. I also did not use any vinegar in the dressing.

Did you know?

The word salad comes from the ancient word "sel" for salt. It then evolved to "salata", meaning a salted herb, because raw veggetables were seasoned with oil, vinegar, and lots of salt.

There are different types of salads served at different points during a meal:

light, smaller-portion salads served as the first course of the meal.
to accompany the main course.
usually contain meat, fish, eggs, legumes, or cheese.
sweet versions containing fruit, gelatin, sweeteners or whipped cream.

It has been raining alot here and with rain comes Pakoras. Pakoras are fried potato fritters and are usually served in rainy season in India and Pakistan. This is a quick and easy recipe, made with Besan (chickpea flour), potatoes and spices. A great back to school lunch or snack idea. If your kids love potatoes they will surely love this.

Pakoras are a favorite choice of food in Ramadan, if you belong to South Asia. They are a must to break fast. Ramadan is a month where Muslims across the world, fast from dawn to dusk. They do not have any drink or food until sunset.
