Mission Capsicum

~ Mission Capsicum ~

Yesterday I ran out of my veggie stock ,

what was left in the refrigerator was capsicum

& carrots . It surely sounds little funny to make a

salad only using capsicums !! but being aware of its

great degree of nutritional value I decided to go

ahead and challenge my creative juices.

Seeing the salad platter my daughter hesitated for a

moment but soon started munching the crispy greens !!

My salad Mission Accomplished !!!!!

Lol - ' The sense of sight succeeded over the sense of taste '

Turtle plz ....

Capsicum , carrot, peas, mayonnaise n nigella seeds

Scorpion Salad !!!!

Capsicum , carrot, peas, mayonnaise n nigella seeds
