Fruit and veggie combo with varied flavours from honey, lemon juice and roasted chana dal perked up with the additional flavour of coriander.. what I liked about this recipe is there is no separate dressing to prepare... it''s an all-in-one recipe tossed well.

The dressing of the salad has roasted chana dal which is quite unusual. The dressing tastes good along with pineapple and cucumber.
