For this month contest, I thought it would be great to do a fresh spring salad. Contestants will create a bean salad with spring colors, and home made dressing.

You will be judged on creativity, and presentation. I will be selecting the top 5 and let the viewers vote for the winners as in past contests. You can refer to my sprouted moong salad as an example.

For this month, I raised the stakes to $100 for the first prize!! Good Luck.

Below is my checklist:

  • Send the name of the recipe along with photo to contest@manjulaskitchen.com.
  • The salad must be accompanied by a homemade dressing.
  • You must send an original picture(s) of the recipe – do not simply grab a photo from the web. Otherwise your recipe will not be considered for entry.
  • The deadline is March 22nd.
  • The winner will be featured on the homepage with the new recipe and a link to their website (if available).

1st Prize: $100 gift certificate from Amazon.com
2nd Prize: $25 gift certificate from Amazon.com

**Anyone can join this contest**

As important as it is to make healthy, heart warming tasty dishes, it’s also important have a great presentation wther it be simple and elegant or exotic.  We do “eat with our eyes first” !  So this month I’ve decided to do something a little different: instead of creating a recipe I’d like to you to create a beautiful and creative presention.

The only rule is that you need to use any one of my recipes and send me a photo of a creative disply/presentation.  You will be judged on your creativity.

    Hello Ma’am, I’ve just joined your wonderful site!.. Nice and healthy contest. I had a question. Should the salad be only of beans or can it be a major part along with other mix.

      Devi,
      Beans should be a major part along with other mix.
