Three healthy Indian salad recipes

Healthy Salad

We’ve talked about Can Salad replace Indian Food ? Like in the West, salads are a key accompaniment to any Indian meal. A good appetizer, salads are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and fiber.

But unlike the West, where fatty dressings of cheese, mayonnaise, alcohol, vinegars, sugars, etc, bring flavour to the bowl, the speciality of Indian salads is that we use low calorie dressings made up of ingredients which are easily available. Lemon, ginger-garlic, coriander, onion, curry leaves, mustard seeds, low fat curd, mint leaves, green chillies, tomatoes, sesame seeds, etc are just a few flavours that add that extra zing to the salad.

Eating a green salad before meals is great for weight loss, as it is fiber-rich and considered negative energy food. (which means a salad contains less calories than it needs for its own digestion.) Some low calorie Indian salads are made up of green vegetables, sprouts, mixed fruit, cracked wheat, etc. They can be eaten as a main course along with soup or buttermilk, or they can accompany a larger meal.

It is always healthier to eat fresh, seasonal produce in a salad. Seasonal fruits and vegetables not only taste better, but also have more nutrients as they have been given time to ripe. Here are some interesting Indian Salad Recipes to try today.
