LOW CALORIE CARROT AND BELL PEPPER SALAD

Carrot and Bell pepper salad
This is a very pleasant tasting salad, very simple and easy to make. Its laden with lots of  important nutrients, vitamins and proteins. It's just perfect for the summer and you can have it along with literally any dish you have for lunch or dinner. I had prepared this a few days ago, when I was on the Detox diet.

Ingredients:
Grated or very thinly sliced carrot (1/2 of a big carrot)
Bell pepper, sliced thin to 1 inch length (orange and yellow, 1/4 + 1/4)
few golden raisins (6 to 8) 
 whole almonds ( 6 to 7)
Black spanish olives (deseeded if you prefer)
Yoghurt which is not sour (1/2 cup to 1 cup, as desired)
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
(Quanity mentioned is for two persons)

Remove any lumps from the yoghurt. Make sure its smooth. Mix all ingredients. Raisins, almonds and olives can be added to suit your taste. Honey creates a pleasant flavour. However, it's optional.  Hope you enjoy this simple yet nutritious salad.
