Great Veg salads can be made in minutes with ingredients available in Kerala especially nadan veggies.
Veggies generally used:
Tomatoes, Carrots, Beetroot, Radish, Cabbage, Cucumber, Broccoli if available
Onions, Lime juice salt to taste.
Garnish with Mint, Coriander, Parsley leaves chopped.
Olive oil is a fine combination extra virgin preferred.
Fruits like apple, water melon etc. are also used.
Tomato sauce, Ketchup, Green chili sauce, Mayonaise etc are used to pep up the taste

Local veggies used:
Instead of Cucumber, Vellari or Kovakka can be used.
Raw Pappaya grated is also a very good substitute.
Ripe pappaya, chambakka, Sabarjill, Plums, Pomegranate, Orange, Musambi and other lime variants will easily blend into the Salad. Adding yogurt (Thairu) is another great combination for a veg salad. Try it out
