Happy Pongal! My festive lunch today left me a little too full for dinner, but my craving for something delicious, wouldn’t go away (Swiggy wasn’t cutting it with limited healthy options and questionable calorie counts). Suddenly, inspiration struck: paneer salad!

This recipe was yummy and an absolute keeper for me!

Ingredients:

• Around 1 cup each: halved grapes, diced tomatoes and cucumber
• 200g diced paneer
• 1 small red onion, chopped
• Handful of fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Dressing (adjust to your taste):

• Fresh lemon juice
• Grated jaggery
• Chaat masala
• Salt and black pepper
• Olive oil

(Optional for topping) Healthy fancy crunchy chips:

• 4700BC, Chips+, Cheese & Herbs, Popped, 100% Corn-Based

Instructions:

1. Toss the veggies, fruits, paneer, and herbs together in a bowl.
2. Prepare the dressing in a glass, adjusting the lemon, jaggery, and chaat masala until you find your perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory.
3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
4. Enjoy your salad as is or sprinkle a few of those popped corn chips for a touch of crunchy delight.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did! Happy cooking! :)
