Couscous Vegetable Salad

I put up a diet plan and just in 2-3 days time end up taking a day off from diet and eat all things out there and again think , o yea, I must follow a diet. But lately I really started liking the diet plan since I started this time with a wonderful salad for my lunch, with couscous and loads of veggies. It is extremely tasty for the natural flavors from all vegetables that ooze out. Let me pass my way of doing simple and easy couscous and vegetable salad.

Fruit Chat

An evening snack I munched a day before was a fruit chat. Tangy, little spicy and the mild sweetness of the fruits within gave a heavenly feeling as I ate each individual pieces in it. I usually get tempted to eat fried items during tea time. But this fruit chat was so filling and tasty that no other thing could have taken its place. A fruit salad with ice-cream tends to add in calories so I found this to be an ideal way to eat fruits with added tanginess and spices. Here I share with you all the recipe of fruit chat.
