A succulent salad of cooked rajma and sweet corn dotted with chunky pieces of cottage cheese and tomatoes, and perked up with a tangy, uncooked salsa. Indeed, with the range of flavours and textures that this Mexican style salad offers you, there will never be a boring moment! The salsa is uncooked, which not only gives an interesting mouth-feel to the Rajma and Corn Salad, but also saves a lot of time. The garnish of crushed nacho chips is really a spark of brilliance, which makes the salad a lot more lively.
