Paneer Salad
Paneer Salad
Paneer Salad is a healthy, nutritious salad made with paneer, fresh seasonal vegetables and herbs. The name itself defines the recipe!!
For centuries, milk and milk products have played a crucial part in the Indian cuisine when it comes to a healthy balanced, and protein-rich diet especially for vegetarians. Paneer is also one of the most popular and essential milk products in India and is used to make a variety of nutritious, homemade meals. It is enjoyed raw as much as it is liked in a curry or gravy dish. It is hard to find people who dislike paneer. Paneer is very easy to prepare and digest and is amongst the richest sources of healthy nutrients.
At my home, being a vegetarian, I cook many recipes using paneer. I love this Paneer Salad as it is a wholesome meal full of vitamins, fiber, minerals and proteins and takes minutes to prepare. It is one of those fuss free recipes too wherein you can add any vegetables you prefer in the salad and the dressing is super simple and easy to prepare.
