Hi Supermoms,

Salads need not be bland or complicated. They are in fact easy to make. You can add vegetables and fruits that are in season to make fresh and flavourful salad. Beetroot is in season now and I have been cooking them almost everyday. To bring a variety, I made this simple yet tasty salad that I could serve along with our lunch. 

Beetroot has so many health benefits and adding them regularly in our diet helps to build our immunity against so many diseases.
