RAINBOW SUMMER SALAD, how to make Rainbow Summer Salad

Like the beautiful Rainbow on a cloudy, rainy day, this salad, made of fruits and vegetables, is a real treat in this sweltering heat. And also, like the 7 rainbow colors, this salad has 7 veggies and fruits all together.
Loaded with vitamins and minerals, this salad must be on your "definitely do" list.
The juicy oranges, carrots and beets, crunchy pomegranate arils, flavorful mint leaves and the tangy dressing ...all together, make this salad an interesting one.
Instead of eating hot rice, sambar or rasam to add to the misery of the scorching heat, it is good to eat such cool and crunchy salads in summer.
