Celery Feta Cheese Salad

Celery Salad
For movie nights, we like a variety of snacks - popcorn, pita chips and hummus, raw celery sticks with cream cheese, potato chips and so on. Well, some are healthy and some not so much. This weekend, tortilla chips and salsa was our pick. So, leftover celery became a part of our weekday meal. Crunchy celery feta salad is a good change from the regular lettuce salad.

Ingredients:
Celery (chopped) - about 2 cups
Feta Cheese - about 1/2 cup
Olive Oil - 2 1/2 tbsp
Apple Cider Vinegar - 1 1/2 tbsp
Dry Italian Seasoning - 1 tsp
Black Pepper - 1/2 tsp
Salt

 How to make Celery Feta Salad:
  • Finely chop celery sticks. 
  • In a small bowl, prepare the vinaigrette/dressing. Add olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dry Italian seasoning, fresh ground black pepper and salt. Whisk it well.
  • You can add some olives and red onions too, if you like.
  • In a big mixing bowl, add crumbled feta cheese and chopped celery. Mix it well. Pour the dressing and toss it well. Refrigerate the salad for about an hour for the flavors to blend well.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs or feta cheese and serve.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.
