Getting creative in the kitchen is an essential component of healthy cooking. These three simple techniques will help keep you on a healthy track and also create satisfying meals without sacrificing flavor.
Sub in citrus: Fresh citrus juice has so many applications in the kitchen. Instead of topping your favorite vegetables with heavy sauces or cheese, try lemon or lime juice to add bright flavors. Lemon and orange juice also make delicious bases to light and tasty salad dressings. This way you can forget the store-bought stuff that is heavier in calories and fat. Try this citrus-lime dressing in your next salad.

2 tbsp lime juice
1/4 orange, juiced
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp oregano

consuming, but the benefits make it worth the effort. You can bake puris,samosa,non
veg etc.2 tbsp lime juice
1/4 orange, juiced
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 tbsp honey
