Today from Nataraja's Nilayam (the monastery kitchen), Natyam Nandinatha presents a spur of the moment creation - a salad in the form of a rainbow! The red is made of tomatoes and red bell peppers, the orange is made of carrots and orange bell peppers, the yellow is yellow bell peppers, the green is cilantro, kale, and green onion, the blue is cooked red cabbage with a little baking soda which turns it from purple to blue, and the purple is plain cooked red cabbage. The clouds are cauliflower, and edible flowers were used as a garnish. Lightly salted and dressed simply with some rice vinegar and olive oil, you have yourself a light summer salad guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of anyone you serve it to. Enjoy!
