2 teaspoon fresh coconut, grated

TIP:
Coconut gratings gives a nice ‘sweet’ taste
Special coconut graters (table top) may be available from Indian grocery stores. Look for one with steel grater (attachment)
This salad can be made without the coconut gratings
Its best adding salt last, as salt tends to make salads runny and soggy

Wow, it really tastes delicious. The ingredient listed here are pretty cool and it can actually add a wondrous flavour to this yummy salad dish. More than vinegar, I prefer to add some filament or little fresh lime juice drops. That makes me wow and crazy for salad. Apart from these even if you for vege- salads or chicken salad prefer olive oil some time rather than any other kind of oil. It is beneficial to the health.
