Step wise pics Procedure for ‘Cucumber (Keera) and Peanut Salad (Indian style):
Prep Work:
Gather all the ingredients at one place. Cut the cucumber, along with skin, into small bite size pieces.
Chop the coriander leaves. Powder few of the roasted peanuts.
Salad Dressing:
Now, take Sugar and Salt into a small cup and squeeze the fresh lemon juice.
Give a thorough mix till the salt and sugar dissolves well.
Make the Salad:
Take the cucumber pieces and chopped coriander into a salad bowl.
Add the roasted peanuts and roasted peanuts powder too.
Transfer this lemon juice mixture into the salad bowl. Take 2 ladles into both hands.
Gently combine everything such that everything is coated across.
Place the lettuce cups on a plate, gently place 2-3 tablespoons of salad on each lettuce cup.
Top it up with grated cheese / carrot. Done!!
Tips & Storage:
- In case, you do not have roasted peanuts you can dry roast a cup of fresh peanuts on a stove-top pan under medium flame, by stirring continuously.
- Roast them until they change their colour and you get a pleasant aroma.
- Once the roasted peanuts are cooled, powder them in a blender.
- While mixing everything, just do it very gently once or twice.
- Do not over mix the ingredients in the salad bowl.
- I used brown sugar and hence my lemon juice mix is in such colour.
- You can add the salt and sugar as per your taste.
- Too much of lemon juice might make the salad watery.
- Storage: I would prefer making this salad fresh rather storing it.
Result:
- This, simple and easy to make, Cucumber and Peanut Salad looks exactly as shown in the pic below.
- It tastes sour, nutty and crunchy, most of all it’s very healthy with all natural stuff.
- Being a very low carbs salad it perfectly fits in my salad calorie count for the day.
