Green salad (V)
About This Dish
Simple, crisp, and refreshing — the Green Salad is all about freshness done right. Made with crunchy cucumber, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and slivers of red onion, it’s lightly tossed with lemon juice and a sprinkle of chaat masala for that signature tang.
And this isn’t your average side salad. The Indian-style seasoning gives it a zesty kick, cutting through the richness of grilled dishes and curries. It’s the kind of clean, crunchy side you want next to something bold — perfect for balance, freshness, and that extra bit of texture on the plate.
History & Tradition
In Indian homes and dhabas, a basic kachumber or fresh salad often sits alongside heavier dishes, as it cools the palate and adds a fresh crunch to any meal. This Green Salad is a modern nod to that tradition, using seasonal vegetables with a classic sprinkle of chaat masala for an Indian street-style twist.
There’s nothing too fancy, just simplicity packed with freshness — an essential element in the balance of Indian flavours.
What Makes it Special
It’s the balance of freshness and spice that makes this salad stand out. Crisp veg, zingy lemon, and the unexpected but essential hit of chaat masala — it lifts the whole plate. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, biryanis, or wraps, but can also be enjoyed on its own as a light, palate-cleansing side. Simple, yes; but never boring

The green salad was the perfect side to our meal — fresh, crunchy, and super tangy with that chaat masala twist. It reminded me of the salads served at Indian weddings. Loved how it balanced the heavier curries and grilled dishes. Simple ingredients but packed with flavour. Definitely not your average side salad.

I ordered this expecting something basic, but it was such a standout. The vegetables were really crisp, and the lemon and chaat seasoning made it so zesty and refreshing. It cut right through the richness of my main. Honestly, I would get it again even just as a light, refreshing bite on its own.

This green salad is a game changer. Fresh cucumber, tomatoes, onions — all tossed in lemon and that magic chaat masala. It added such a pop of flavour to the meal. Great contrast with the meat dishes I had. Cool, crunchy, and packed with just enough spice to make it interesting. Loved it.
