Indian salad

I don't know how traditional this dish is but it appears on most restaurant menus in India under the name 'Mixed salad'. The ingredients may vary a little from restaurant to restaurant but this is the basic mix.

Ingredients

1 onion
1 carrot
1 tomato
1 small cucumber
A few sprigs of green coriander
A pinch of dried methi leaves
The juice of half a lemon or a small lime
Salt

Peel the carrot, cucumber and onion and cut all the vegetables into very thin slices. Arrange in layers on a plate (The most popular order seems to be, from the bottom up, carrot, onion, cucumber, tomato). Sprinkle chopped coriander, crushed methi, salt and lemon juice on top and serve.
