#100saladpact Story What started as a suggestion to make salads interesting and doable so that it eliminates the fear of people approaching raw food, ended with the #100saladpact. "Akka, why don't you prepare some salads and share with meditators whose preparing for Samyama"? said, Swami Naksatra in one of the meet I had with him in Hyderabad. I remember Swami mentioning about it very casually, "It can be some quotes on yoga and salads''. I thought if I am able to put this together, it will be uselful for many meditators in the coming years who take up this sadhana. And thus popped the idea in my head to create 100 vegan salads which will not have any negative pranic ingredients ( like onion, garlic, chillies and hing) At then I knew I had around 120 days to prepare for the sadhana which would be on 8th March 2019, so 100salads should be doable. Lil did I knew what mammoth task it would be to do the same, keeping in mind, the long hours of practices, a

Cucumber Hummus Salad

If u scroll down to my first few salads, you would find the hashtag #sayno2 #slicedcucmber #slicedcarrot. So my last salad is a tribute to the very old saathi of our our sliced veggies or Green salad whom we all have toatlly accepted as the ULTIMATE TRUTH πŸ˜…πŸ˜… I will end my pact still saying 'Healthy need not be boring' . . . • Boil chickepeas and grind it along with soaked white seaseame, white pepper, salt and limejuice. Add extra virgin olive oil to it. The smooth paste can be used as a sandwich spread or in salads n dips. • I add hummus to cut cucmber, carrot and radish and garnished with some chopped coriander and pomogrante seeds.😊 #100saladpact #Veganrecipes #Salads #Sadhguru #Samyama #Isha #Food #vegetarianfood #saladrecipe #tasteofwellbeing #easyrecipes #instapic #yoga #classic #Sadhana #socialmediadiary #foodsofinstagram

Snake gourd Khakra Chaat Salad

Image
Well, one amongest the last salads of the pact had to be filling, nutritious and chatpata. Though this version has nothing what a so called ideal chaat must have, however, I guarantee anyone who will try it, will not regret eating it. Must try version 😊 . . • Toss finely chopped snakegourd, cucumber, pineapple, fresh coriander and chaat masala along with some crushed plain or jeera khakra. • As simple delicious and healthy as it gets. Have a feeling many gourmet restaurants will pick up this recipe and make it their own.😊 #100saladpact #Veganrecipes #Salads #Sadhguru #Samyama #Isha #Food #Fruits #vegetarianfood #saladrecipe #foodlovers #tasteofwellbeing #Health #easyrecipes #instapic #goodfood #yoga #classic #Sadhana #socialmediadiary #foodsofinstagram

Enjoy my version 😊 . . . • Steam and peel sweet potato, slice and keep aside. • Chop snake gourd and cucumber and toss with some black salt and dash of lime. Add the sweet potato and garnish with my fav fruit of all time - pomogrante seed😊 #100saladpact #Veganrecipes #Salads #Sadhguru #Samyama #Isha #Food #Fruits #vegetarianfood #saladrecipe #foodlovers #tasteofwellbeing #Health #easyrecipes #instapic #goodfood #yoga #classic #Sadhana #socialmediadiary #foodsofinstagram

Ideal Summer Salad

Image
Though summer has totally not got into its play, I made this salad for the coming time considering how hot its going to be and with salads like these how wonderfully we can nourish body with veggies others than cucumber. Ashgourd or safed kaddu is 90% water and tops the list of positive pranic food. Enjoy this one when the heat is at its peak . . . • Chop finely ashgourd , cucumber and toss with lots of black pepper.  • Add chopped watermelon and pomogrante seed.  • Add black salt in the end or else it will become a salad soup. Anyways enjoy the leftover juice too once u eat the salad. All thr real stuff is always in that liquid☺ #100saladpact #Veganrecipes #Salads #Sadhguru #Samyama #Isha #Food #Fruits #vegetarianfood #saladrecipe #foodlovers #tasteofwellbeing #Health #easyrecipes #instapic #goodfood #yoga #classic #Sadhana #socialmediadiary #foodsofinstagram

Unusual combination of vegetables and fruits. It all came together so beautifully. • Stir fry thickly sliced button mushroom in high flame till it browns. Keep aside. • While still warm toss it along with thinly sliced snake gourd, fresh green grapes, pomogranate seed and season with rock salt pepper. • Temper with oil, mustard seed, urad dal and lots of fresh coconut. #100saladpact #Veganrecipes #Salads #Sadhguru #Samyama #Isha #Food #Fruits #vegetarianfood #saladrecipe #foodlovers #tasteofwellbeing #Health #easyrecipes #instapic #goodfood #yoga #classic #Sadhana #socialmediadiary #foodsofinstagram
