Cucumber salad is a great dish to serve especially on those hot days when we don’t want to be anywhere near the stove or cooktop!  Healthy salads’ can sometimes be boring, and you might end up wishing for a richer dressing! but this one is sure to be a refreshing change :)

This healthy vegetable makes a healthy treat that also helps regulate blood sugar levels.

A perfect food to satisfy small hunger pangs, it keeps you away from binge-eating.  In this salad, I have used Jaggery instead of sugar which gives it a great taste!

During the summer, we peel of the skin and enjoy this vegetable with a dash of spice and salt...

I make this salad often at home as it is very simple and quick to make.. This is excellent for Diabetics too!
