Pakti salad bowls

Raw salads are considered cold, rough and hard to digest in Ayurveda. They are okay in small quantities for Pitta types, but not great for anyone who is stressed-out or run-down, or Vata and Kapha types with wavering and slow digestion, respectively. Here are three Dosha-friendly salads, each lightly cooked so you still get the crunch of a salad without it flopping into a stew. All Dosha types can enjoy the other salads on occasion, unless they know they are feeling imbalanced that day. Asparagus is a Tridoshic wonder – whenever it is in season, make sure you stick it in your salad!
