Lighter shades always rejuvenate and lowers the volume of
all levels of complexities, be it light shades of color that refreshes and
gives natural feels or the clouds forming the serape to cover the rays of flashy
sun, pushing us to fall in love with the twilight and relaxing weather, the
soft shimmer of rays draw us near and closer to the beaches or simply pressing for an enjoyable long ride. Not only our eyes requests soft and soothing colors for a perfect
solution of the day, but our tummy too needs something beautiful, special, tasty and
ultimate light options at the same time and What could be nicer than a creamy
fruitilicious and nutrilicious creation of salad!!
Not always Khichdi or simplicity in food can be a solution
for light foods, demands of food are endless. So today I have come up with a healthy and delicious bowl of heavenly salad
straight from the houses of Russia! Russian food has always been listed high on
my charts and this salad is a hit spot of taste. Olivier salad or Russian salad
is all about the mixture of any veggies you die for plus a valuable combination
of beans, corns, fruits and of course dips! Add red pasta, noodles and sweet
and sour fruits to complement the veggies. I love the amazing creamy bites of
vivid tastes that don’t make me feel at all heavy from the insides. Russian salad
as Saturday dinner with phenomenal episodes of Supernatural makes the perfect
end of our weekend! Try this at home and thank us later!
