Since salads are made from vegetables, they are extremely fibrous and make a person feel full even if they eat them in small quantities. The source of protein present in salads also gives the body the needed nourishment and energy. Salads provide a lot of room for experimentation. But most people avoid eating salad because it’s expensive and is prepared by using some extra vegan vegetables. Here are some simple salad recipes that are prepared from common ingredients available in the kitchen.

* Rajma Salad
Just like chickpea salad, rajma salad is also a healthy and simple salad that can be prepared at home by using whatever is in the kitchen already. Just take some Rajmas and boil it properly. Now to prepare the salad, one would need some fresh vegetables like tomatoes, spring onions, cabbages, capsicum, and any other vegetable of choice. Also, arrange for some peanuts, although it is not a necessary step, and one can easily skip it. Mix all these ingredients properly, and as a seasoning, add some salt, black pepper, and red chilli. Complete the salad by drizzling some lemon juice.
* Green Papaya Salad
This is a salad that can be made with some shredded papayas. Papaya is an extremely healthy fruit, and other than eating ripe papaya as a fruit, raw papayas can be used to make a lot of sabzis and salads. One can take the help of a grater to shred raw papaya into a proper shape. Now add some other complementary vegetables like cucumber, carrots, onions, and tomatoes, along with some mint leaves. The dressing of the salad can be prepared by mixing some olive oil with ginger-garlic paste, lime juice, red, chilli, salt and black pepper. A small amount of honey can also be added. This dressing has to be mixed with the papaya salad properly before being served.
