Indian Spiced Salad

This is one of my signature dishes that I always make when cooking an Indian meal for friends and family. It always goes down really well and it guarantees empty plates.

What’s In It?

2 Large or 3 Medium Tomatoes (diced)
1/2 Cucumber (cored and diced)
1 Medium Red Onion (diced)
1/2 Stick Celery (diced)
2 Green Chillies (sliced) [optional]
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Himalayan or Sea Salt
2 tbsp Fresh Coriander Leaves (chopped)
1 tbsp Fresh Mint Leaves (chopped)
1 tbsp Olive/Rapeseed/Vegetable Oil
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds

How Do I Make It?

Combine together the diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, celery and green chillies, if using.

Add lemon juice, salt and pepper. Combine well.

Just before serving, heat the oil in a small saucepan or frying pan over high heat.

Add the cumin and mustard seeds and fry quickly for 20 seconds. Be careful not to let the seeds burn.

Pour over the salad, toss gently and serve straight away with an Indian meal.

Fresh, zingy and packed full of taste, this salad is proper delicious. It goes so well with Anupreet’s Chicken Jalfrezi Shepherds Pie recipe and we can also imagine it working equally as a summer BBQ side dish. Another recipe that’s going straight on my make regularly food list!
