Rajma Salad | Kidney Beans Salad

Salads are our favorite accompaniment to serve with Indian meals. Though sometimes we get bored of serving the same thing again and again but a little change can make your meals more interesting. Today I am sharing a protein rich salad which you can serve with any Indian meal. Or, just enjoy it as a wholesome meal. Choice is all yours. 😄

Let’s just suppose you have soaked Rajma for preparing Rajma masala and later you changed your mind (that’s hard to imagine, though) then you must try this chatpata Rajma Salad. Even if you don’t plan to, I would suggest you to try this once. Nothing new, nothing fancy. A handful of very basic ingredients when tossed together makes this tongue-tickling Rajma Salad which is undoubtedly delicious. 

You don’t need to do a lot of work for preparing this delicious Salad. Just throw everything together in a bowl, toss with condiments and a few spices and the refreshing vibrant looking salad is ready to serve.
