Avocado and Raw Mango - # Salad 1

Salad - a dish containing mixed vegetables and fruits.

There are various types of salad. Nowadays, I am trying so many types of salad because my husband is a huge fan of it.

Easy and quick to make, a healthy option to munch upon. This pairs well with the evening tea.

I used black chickpeas and raw peanuts for this salad. You can use any lentil of your choice. Ensure not to exceed 1/2 cup altogether, otherwise they will nullify the essence of avocado and the raw mango.

Soaking time of lentil  :  4 to 5 hours

I used ripe avocado, raw mango that had sweet as well as a sour taste.

Cut Avocado, Raw Mango and Apple into small cubic pieces.

Cut carrots in a circular shape.

Peel the skin of cucumber and slit it vertically long (as shown in the picture).

Cut the tomato into thin parallel slices working from the top of the tomato to the bottom, leaving the top to remove the stem.
