Salads can be healthy, satisfying meals on their own or perfect accompaniments to main dishes. Whatever sort of salad they are perfect for your diet plans as well. Even though it is not a very extraordinary dish but I just had to share this one with you. This weekend was a cool and rainy one. In winters I generally like to sit near the fire and avoid any cooking. However, I had to make something for my family. I know very well that they will not say no to a big bowl of creamy soup and a bowl full of nutritious salad. This salad is a load of fibre and protein and goodness of cheddar cheese, and all kinds of good stuff. This is designed for a perfect day start.

Best Salad Ever

This is my first time making this recipe, but it is already becoming one of my favourites that I know I will be making time and time again this year. The peppers add a spicy, smoky taste, and the cheese mellows out all of the flavours. This is a curd based creamy salad, also great for diet plans.  I like to top the bowl with a little more cheese and thinly sliced nuts and serve it up with some warm, crusty bread croutons.

The ingredients are very simple just dig out your fridge and use all possible vegetables. You can put any type of vegetables like cabbage, carrot, peas, corn, baby corn, mushrooms, potatoes, spinach and all other possible vegetables which you want to use. I love to use pasta in it you can also use the same. This is why this will become a full meal.
