Garden Salad

This has become a staple food at my place. There is not a day when we don't have it. It might sound too boring and routine. The truth is the crunchiness of the fresh vegetables and the fact that we are half filling our stomach with healthy stuff everyday before a meal makes us feel good. It is always said, you must have a bowl of salad when you head to a party to avoid overeating. Try this salad. It is filled with the goodness of broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, olives, sweet corn, baby corn and a little of olive oil and salad dressing
