The climate of Bangalore is always soothing and pleasant but here we are feeling the heat now. So I can imagine about rest of the India. It is better to take precautions to keep yourself healthy. Restrict yourself from oily foods because in summer it is difficult to digest oily foods. Include fresh fruits and veggies in your diet. Instead of a heavy meal you can have a bowl of healthy salad during lunch and you won’t feel hungry. This kidney bean and lettuce salad is that kind of salad which contains lot of protein from kidney bean and cheese, calcium from cheese and cucumber will keep you hydrated. I have used lime juice and little olive oil for dressing.

Talk about summer! Even though I love the morning sunshine, I hate the scorching heat. Bangalore is not the same any more. 🙁
Truly nice. I am loving this salad for its simplicity.
The heat is getting to be a bit too much here. I can't imagine how actual summer will be. Your salad will be just right for this weather. Lovely mix of ingredients.
