The theme for April's No Crouton Required Challenge was to come up with a soup or salad featuring Indian spices. Thanks to everyone who contributed their spicy dish. Do check out all of the tempting entries. We do have a winning dish to announce, though as usual, all of the submissions are winners. Congratulations to Preety from Preety's Kitchen, who entered her tempting and nourishing Red Kidney Beans and Corn Salad with Rice.

I am hosting the May 2013 edition of No Croutons Required. This month I am asking for little bites. The theme is appetizer soups or salads. Come up with a soup or salad that would make for a perfect starter to begin a meal. There are no restrictions when it comes to ingredients or cuisine but please ensure your submission is suitable for vegetarians.

All you need to do to participate is come up with your soup or salad, post about it on your blog, mentioning I am the host this month with a link to this announcement, and submit your recipe via the linky tool at the end of this post by the 20th of the month. Note that only one entry per blogger will be accepted. I look forward to your little bites of goodness.
