Take advantage of the veggie season to make a salad

BY VISION REPORTER

WITH the rainy season on, markets have registered an increase in the supply of tubers and vegetables. A point in reference is sweet and Irish potatoes, cassava and vegetables like eggplants, carrots, green pepper and tomatoes.

These are good substitute for the costly matooke and beef.
Now that vegetables are in season, you can try out a number of concoctions, one being a garden vegetable salad for your family.
A garden vegetable salad is recommended because it is nutritious, since the vegetables are eaten raw. In addition, the roughage in the vegetables eases digestion and helps detoxify the body. Nutritionists recommend the salad for those dieting because the vegetables are filling.
