The addition of barley come close to making this salad tridoshic. However, raw salad greens are difficult to digest for vata type cold digestion or vishama agni, Slight blanching of the salad greens with honey and mustard would provide the missing heat.

A softer salad with barley and cool dill, mint, and cucumber. Sweet raisins & perhaps a dab of honey mustard or a sliced radish for contrasting pungency. Discovered when reaching for a quick snack during the home birth of my first daughter, Aug 30th in Albuquerque.

1 tsp	Mint
1/4 c	Raisins
1/4 c	Barley
1/8 tsp	Dill
1/4 c	Cucumber
1/2 lbs	Arugula
1/4 lbs	Endive
1/2 lbs	Red Leaf Lettuce

Chop salad leaves and cucumbers as desired for a normal salad. Coarsely chop raisins. Mix all ingredients together gently. Serves 4

Notes: Cook the barley just like rice but it takes a little longer.

Why shouldn't kapha dosha eat raisins and cucumbers?
