Announcing Serve It Series - Serve It - Raw

This month's theme for Serve It series is Serve It - Raw. Summer is in full swing everywhere and all we want to eat is something light, cool and that wouldn't weigh you down. We get a lot of fresh produce in spring and summer and I love to have salads as much as I can. Salads need not be something boring or unsatisfying as that is the commonly conceived notion. Adding little protein like eggs, chicken and nuts and fruits like dried cranberries, raisins, apricots etc makes it a whole meal in itself. When it comes to salads the options are nearly unending.

Here are the guidelines for the event:
1. You may send in any entry that is raw. Starter, Main course, Dessert salads, accompaniments (like raita/dip) are all accepted.
2. The salad ingredients should be raw, although a max of two ingredients can be cooked. For e.g. Garbanzo beans, chicken, eggs.
3. Salad dressing/vinaigrette recipes also can be linked but they should definitely be accompanied by the salad in the post.
4. The ingredients can be greens, vegetables, fruits, grains, pasta etc.,.
5. Both Vegetarian and Non-vegetarian entries are allowed. But No Beef/Pork/Alcohol please.
6. Please link back to this announcement page and also to Denny's page here.
