If you are looking for the healthy side to whiten that boring old chicken breast, you have to try some of these incredible ones Indian salad recipes. Not only are they vibrant and fresh, but they’re also full of fantastic spices and flavors.
If I’m believable, I don’t love large salad bowls and I’m almost always hungry an hour later. So when I tell you these salads will put a smile on your face and fill your ever-empty stomach, you know they are good! They’re still high in nutrients and even some greens, but they focus more on fresh vegetables to give you a good boost.
1. Spicy Indian cucumber salad
- Cucumber salad may not sound like a lively dish, but when you mix it with chili pepper, pepper flakes, chopped peanuts, coconut oil, lime juice, sugar, and salt, it’s a winner.
- This cucumber salad is also served warm.
- You will be cooking some mustard seeds with cumin and some coconut oil before pouring it over the cucumber.
- It will sizzle, the flavors will come together and this is going to be the best darn cucumber salad you have ever had.
2. Avocado salad
- Being an avocado toast / guacamole lover, I knew I would love this dish before I took the first bite.
- It’s creamy but still full of texture thanks to the avocado chunks, tomatoes, and onions.
- It’s also the perfect mix of citrus and warm that you can get from the simple lemon and smoked paprika dressing.
3. Chickpea salad recipe
- Chickpeas are very rich in protein and make every salad even more filling.
- Use canned chickpeas to make your prep super quick, and if you want a touch of sweet color add some canned corn to the mixture as well.
4. Recipe for vegetable salad
- The nice thing about this salad is that you can use raw vegetables as well as cooked ones.
- So if you have leftovers, you can add them to a bowl with a quick lemon oil dressing.
- If you are using raw vegetables, wash and dry them before you dice them relatively small.
- You should have them small enough so that you don’t work too hard with each bite.
5. Onion salad
- I have eaten variations of this salad all over the world.
- Swedes (and Scandinavians in general) like to add pickled vegetables to the table to add something refreshing to their meat.
- In Thailand, alongside chicken satay, they serve a small plate with a touch of sweetness.
- And of course they go perfectly with a taco!
