Rainbow Veggie Crunch Salad
Best For
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
This salad is called the pure salad because it is the purest and cleanest salad amongst the other salads in this website. It does not contain any nuts, seeds, dressings, salt or lemon because ideally, a salad should be eaten without these things. Yet, this salad is flavorful (because of the coriander and coconut) and crunchy (because of the sprouts).
