This mixed vegetable salad is tasty, colorful, and also a
make-ahead recipe. Yes, chop all your favorite greens and veggies in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Then next day, toss the salad in a simple homemade salad dressing before serving it for lunch or dinner.
This green salad has a sweet and savory combo due to the addition of pepper, dates, raisins, and nuts. I love to accompany this salad with dal/sambar rice. This is a perfect summer salad recipe. It is super fresh, light, and healthy as well. This is also a gluten-free
and vegan salad.

greens, spinach, avocado, cucumber, tomato, and onion. You may also include carrots, capsicum/bell peppers, cabbage, green peas, corn,
