For the longest time, Mediterranean cuisine has been a favorite among healthy eaters!
It is not only for the brightly colored ingredients and flavorful preparation this cuisine has to offer but also because Mediterranean food has been found to be the healthiest among the various cuisines around the world. This is mainly because of the healthy oils and fresh ingredients used in food preparations from this region.
So, how about treating your loved ones, for whom you really care about, to a generous serving of healthy soul-food? Something which is high on fiber, loaded with good nutrients, and is pleasing to the eyes too… In fact, you will be surprised how fondly kids eat their bowl of this super-healthy salad!
This vegan preparation pairs really well with grilled vegetables or meats. So, you can have it ready a day before you have the barbeque party or for that matter, you can take it to your friend’s place, in case someone else is hosting one.
Turkish Kisir is really high on flavors that come from the decadent mix of fresh fruits and vegetables. You simply have to arrange the ingredients, whisk the salad dressing, mix it all, and you are good to go!
To blend/ whisk the oil-fruit juice salad dressing, we recommend you make use of a milk frother. This is a pretty handy tool that is great to whisk or blend salad dressings, eggs, frying batter, froth milk (of course), and whatnot! With so many uses, it sure is an important gadget to have in the kitchen. To make the selection easier for you, we found a list of the best milk frothers here, from which you can select the ones that fit in your budget.
