Making a salad can be tricky because more than often it turns out to be bland and well, just

leafy. Which is why the right kind of salad recipes can take you a long way. Salad recipes
that aren't just for healthy eaters, but also for those who love a burst of flavour. These are
fireworks on a plate, not to be missed!

Quick Tip: Three things to keep in mind to get the right crunchiness - 1) Wash your greens
with cold water. Using hot or warm water may make then lose the crunchiness. 2) Never
overdress, over dressing causes the salad to become soggy. The salad should be dressed
just before serving. 3) Serve on a chilled plate to maintain the crunch till the very end.
