Winter Salad- Tangerines, Avocado, Beets & Lettuce with Yogis Organic

Winter is peaking in Delhi by the day and its becoming increasingly difficult to come out of my bed for anything. All that I want to do is have a hot cup of cocoa and laze around the whole day. 

But not so lucky, I have work (office) and more work (blog) to do. 

In between all the tussles of having heaps of work and wanting to stay in quilt, I wanted to have something healthy and tasty. Since, I have messed up with my exercise schedule also, I am trying to at least be fair towards having good food. Having salad once a day is not just a great way to avoid the unnecessary calories that we munch in, but its also a amazing source of energy. Snacking with salad is the perfect addition to your day and is a guiltfree solution to hunger pangs.

So aptly named, its the ultimate WINTER SALAD with veggies from YOGIS ORGANIC. Made with fresh vegetables sourced directly from the farms, completely organic, you don't have to worry about all those harmful pesticides going in. The tangerines are to die for, soft, juicy and sourly sweet, I haven't had better till date, the Avocados are beautifully buttery, the perfect addition to any salad or sandwich and the lettuce were so fresh and crunchy. The folks at Yogis make sure that you are having the best of vegetables and you would want more.
