Gluten Free Sorghum or Jowar Salad with Mango and Kale. Raw mango, ripe mango, kale, cucumber, and cheese. I love the play of textures and flavors in this one.
While quinoa is really nice, what I love is using local grains in the salad. And various millets are what I turn to often. This Sorghum or Jowar salad is delicious and full of nutrition.
Today’s post has come later than I have been posting the salads, the photos have been ready since last Sunday. But for some reason, I feel listless today. This whole week has been so hard to take. Personally, granny is in the hospital and there are decisions to be made. Hospital duties to be performed, all this along with work and O. The week in news has been the most horrible ever in a long time. I agree, there has been terrible news coming from all sides for a long time but my heart is breaking for both Asifa and Unnao. I think as humans as a species deserve to go extinct, Humanity has been dead for long anyway. There is so much my heart wants to say on this but words aren’t coming out, only tears.
And then professionally, I lost a project which was almost about to start. Meetings that had been on for a month, discussions which had moved to one level higher. I know this isn’t the end of the world, but I guess it is the whole despair I feel. I really do need a stiff drink or two to deal with this week.
Anyways I digress, here is the recipe for this beautiful salad. I am hoping this feeling will go away when I wake up tomorrow (when I truly know nothing is changing) and I will be back with more salads.
If you make this, share a picture with me on twitter, instagram or Facebook? I would love to hear what you say. And track all the posts for the Salad A-Z here.
