Eating deliciously light: Shrimp Salad

Don’t let the headline fool you. The “light eating” is not related to dieting. It is about eating something that tastes good, is filling and satisfying, while not being heavy. The best part is that it is easy to prepare.

With the ongoing soaring temperatures sapping energy, I don’t feel like being in the kitchen for too long. These days, I have been making various dips, spreads and salads that can go with crackers, bread, Sada roti, or on a bed of lettuce, particularly crisp iceberg lettuce. Last week I picked up a packet of shrimp with the intention of making a bunjal (dry curry) to have with dhal and rice. However, when the time arrived, I changed my mind and instead, made a salad.
