DreamsFun

Ingredients:

* 2 Carrots
* 3 Medium Tomatoes
* ½ cup Kabuli chana
* 8-10 Lettuce Leaves
* 1 Medium Sweet Potato


Dressing
* ½ tsp Salt
* 6 tbsp Curd
* 1 tsp Black Pepper
* 1 tbsp Clear Honey


Garnish
* 1 tbsp Walnuts
* 1 tbsp Sultanas
* 1 smal Onion, rings


Method:

1. Peel the sweet potato and roughly dice. Boil until soft but not mushy, cover the pan and set aside.
2. Boil the carrots for a just a few minutes making sure they remain crunchy. Add the carrots to the sweet potatoes.
3. Drain the water from the sweet potatoes and carrots and place together in a bowl.
4. Slice the tops off the tomatoes, then scoop out and discard the seeds. Roughly chop the flesh.
5. Line a glass bowl with the lettuce leaves. Mix together the sweet potatoes, carrots, chick-peas (garbanzos) and tomatoes and place in the bowl.
6. Blend together all the dressing ingredients and beat using a fork.
7. Garnish with the walnuts, sultanas (golden raisins) and onion rings. Pour the dressing over the salad or serve it in a separate bowl, if wished.



Tip: Potatoes will absorb more dressing if you dress them hot then refrigerate.
