The Bean Salad ( Chana Chaat)

To continue with our salad recipes.....
Since salads are the most versatile foods.. you can add almost anything and toss the way you like. One can experiment with dressings and a dressing for one can be used with the other.
This particular salad is quite a hit with indian taste buds. Since it is almost a chaat. Can be served as a salad or chaat in parties as well..
