It was a good day in general, especially the end!
In a blender, combine the orange zest, orange juice, vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. With the blender running, add the olive oil in a steady stream until combined. Transfer to a container and store in the refrigerator.
To serve, put the veggies in a large bowl. Toss with enough of the vinaigrette to coat the greens and serve.
I had oats for breakfast. It was followed by watermelon mid morning. I then had Jawar Rotis with Tinda, which was quite delicious.
After that my friend Mala convinced me to go to Churchil with her, where we shared a plate of rice and creamy-mushroom gravy with chicken and vegetables. I absolutely LOVED the veggies and HOGGED on those! I didnt feel guilty at all, cuz I basically had boiled veggies there.
Then I went home and rested, after a cup of green tea. In the evening, I had some more tea and decided to go for a swim. but stupid me- I forgot my pass! So with a heavy heart I left, only to get a call from Nemo (afore mentioned Namrata Ganguly). So she and I went back to my house to have some green tea and watermelon.
While she was there, I started on cutting the greens for my salad. It was the most beautiful salad in the world!!! here is the recipe for those who want it:
