By means of it We produce gardens of dates and grapes for you, in which there are many fruits for you and from which you eat. - Surat al-Mu'minun: 19

Good Morning Lovelies, 

I have got a recipe for you to try out which really tastes awesome and you wouldnt even feel like you are on a diet. The main ingredient is rice. Yes! You read it correctly. Who said we have to omit rice while on a diet. Yes of course its good if we did. But being Asian, this is one of the must eat carbs. Trust me, in our healthy diet, we have to included one portion of carbs, one portion of fruits and vegetables and a portion of proteins from lean meat.

I call this SAS - Summer Asian Salad. All you need for this is as follows, if you dont have any of these items, you can replace it with the same amount of any alternative food you like. Just dont go overboard with the amount. Remember LIMIT is the key to our diet.
