When you have a call with the US (exactly 12 hours away) looming large over your evening and a few 1000 errors to run before the said call, a cheerful face is all you need to see. And when the one face you want to really see is working the night away at his office desk, this colourful, fresh and healthy 20-min salad is maybe the next best thing!

  2. 1 big bell pepper
  3. 1 small boiled potato
  4. Salad leaves
  5. Hung curd
  6. Balsamic vinegar
  7. Dried parsley and basil herbs
