I am not very big on Salad, nor do we make it a compulsory part of our menu as per the Salad term goes. Though we always have onions part of our roti meal, dry sautes part of our South Indian Meals. So I don't really go out of the way to make your typical salad as the name goes.
However Amma has been including these sort of salad in their meals as they have to include different dals and vegetables. Our vegetable supermarket sells parsley, and is quite pricy as well. So when Amma got this, we wanted to ensure we make good use of it. This was one of the salads were we used fresh parsley. It was my first time tasting the herb and it was so crunchy and nice.
