Salad Prepping & Shopping

I’ve been dying to get these Miu Miu sunglasses and finally {accidentally} found them in India. I am such a happy girl today!!

While at a recent trip to Jaipur, I had this amazing vegetarian Carrot Cake at Anokhi Cafe. Amazing place, a must visit for those cotton clothes shopping and having great veg desserts and salads.

Weddings, shopping, travelling and loads of work, and among all of this I’ve been experimenting with a lot of vegan and vegetarian salads – leafy, bean, fruit+veggies+avacado and cucumber – the list is endless. And here’s my latest one – Peach & Bean Salad.

I am a huge salad buff, and I ensure that everyone around me eats a good portion of it (even if I have to gulp it down their throats forcefully). I may sound a bit self-conceited here, but trust me this one turned out really well. Even those who are allergic to salad {now allergic I don’t mean in the medical sense here}, loved a bite of it. Since I’ve been asked a recipe for it a lot many times, I thought I’d post it on the blog….

INGREDIENTS

2 peaches – cubed
100 grams French beans – boiled a little to make it soft
1/2 Zucchini – cubed a slightly sauteed in olive oil for 30 seconds
1/2 small bowl pomegranate seeds
5 flaked almonds
1 tea spoon flax seeds

For Dressing:
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 lemon’s juice
Salt to taste

Put all the ingredients in a large salad bowl, including the dressing, toss the ingredients. Serve it fresh. It serves 3 people.

I know I know its a salad, but trust me its insanely yummy for a salad, and healthy of course.

I’ve just realised, there’s been a lot of food posts lately, making it more of a fooddestino.com rather than styledestino.com. In my defense, I remember these words of Virginia Woolf “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well”… besides whoever said food can’t be stylish?

Vegan and Jain food in Budapest? Everyone told me I’ll have a hard time. But not only did I fall in love with the city for its beauty and old world charm, ruin bars, fab party scene and breathtaking sunset views of Danube river, but also amazing #veganfood.

Here are my fav vegan restaurants in Budapest that are also Jain friendly:
🌱 @tranzitbyflow - the chef custom made Jain meals for us and everything was yum
🌱 @napfenyes.etterem - their Somali dumplings are out of the world, it’s vanilla carob sponge cake with whipped cream. You can’t leave the city without trying them (I went every day just for this to this restaurant)
🌱 @vegazzihun - vegan pizzeria in Budapest 🥰
🌱 @theplanteen - pancakes & desserts
🌱 @ganeshavegaetelbar - vegan Indian food
🌱 @vegangardenbudapest - not very Jain friendly though 
🌱 @szabad_vegan_bistro - call them if u want jain options
