Salads are very healthy and are always advised by the doctors for good health, both fruit salad and vegetable salad are equally important. We can take fruits easily, as they are tasty in raw form itself,but taking vegetables in raw form is a difficult task for almost everyone,especially cabbage,gobi,radish.We cannot eat them alone,we need to combine with other veggies(vegetables) or seasoning.
