Pomegranates Salad with Orange Dressing
Summer time is also a good time to pick up lots of lovely fruits and vegetables going for a bargain. No Indian food is complete without a salad, chutney of some sort, pickles, raita and papads . My mum managed to make these using whatever was in season using everyday ingredients and spices. Like my mum I try and include a variety of fruits and vegetables in my meal and a salad is a good way to do that. This salad is one such example.
