Welcome to my cookbook Cookerypoint - Ila's Kitchen. I am excited to participate in Blogging Marathon for 7 days. Thanks to Srivalli for organising Group 2 in Marathon. Yes, my theme is Seven days of Salads. I selected this theme because I like salads very much. I used to try different salads which is very healthy too. So, lets have Salad week starting from today. Check out my fellow bloggers magical recipes in Marathon... Divya , Harini, Jay, Kamalika, Padma, Pavani, Priya Madhavan, Priya Suresh, Suma, Vatsala, Veena and Priya Vasu. Lets go to our recipe..
