One can actually add, cheese or paneer as well instead of egg but I thought egg would be the best one to go along this recipe flavour.

Green Salad

When I came to US there were so many new ingredients that were easily available that I decided to try something different than I have always tried :) So here was my experiment with the first salad. I would name it Green Salad for I used Green Leaf Lettuce :)

Ingredients

10 leaves of Green Leaf Lettuce

1/2 Cup Grape Tomatoes

1/2 Pineapple

1/4 Cup Corn

10 Cucumber Pickels

5 Jalapenos

1/2 Spoon Oregano

2.5 Spoon Ranch Dressing

Salt to taste

Method

Cook the corn in boiling water or microwave in a cup of water for 5 min. Drain the water and keep aside.
Cut the green leaf lettuce into medium sized pieces
Halve the grape tomatoes and add them to leaf lettuce.
Add Pineapple after chopping it to small pieces
Halve cucumber pickle and add to it
Add chooped jalapenos and corn that was set aside.
Add Ranch Dressing, Oregano and Salt. Mix well and serve.

Notes

This was something quick, healthy and yet tasty. The ranch dressing and oregano went well together :) Need to try some other fruits, vegetables and dressings. :)
