March month's Blogging Marathon has started. For the first week I have selected soups and salads as the theme. Having a cup of salad before breakfast makes me feel full so that I eat less. The cup of sald would provide the nutrients required for the start of the day. When I was practicing yoga regularly my day starts with beetroot and carrot salad which helped me a lot in weight reduction. But now I am becoming very lazy and been skipping the salad. Last week, I made this salad after so many days and hubby along with me enjoyed it. The dressing was curd based. I also added some museli for topping which added the extra crunch to the salad.
