This is a very simple green salad. What sets it apart is properly mixing it by hand with a good amount of lime juice, green chillies, salt and fresh black pepper. It's best to place all the vegetables in the fridge so that they are properly chilled before they are cut, and serve immediately. Once the salt is mixed the vegetables will start releasing water. So, don't mix in the salt until you are ready to serve.

We're building a community

With Bong Eats adda we are trying to create a quiet corner on the internet for people who love nothing more than cooking and feeding people. The focus is naturally on Bengali and South Asian food, but as anyone who has spent time with food and its history knows, everything in food is interconnected. Nowhere is this more true than in Bengal, the melting point of so many cultures of the world—home to the first "global cuisine", as food historian Pritha Sen puts it. If that sounds like just the place you have been looking for, come help us build this space together. We are just getting started.
