Salads

This is a simple salad with a soya sauce based dressing that is versatile in its use. This soya dressing can be used as a dipping sauce as well. I keep the salad here basic, because I paired it with the Coconut Broth Ramen which is packed with flavour – but if you wish to make this salad as a standalone, go ahead and ‘meat’ it up with some grilled vegetables, grilled paneer or tofu, a boiled egg…

This salad is a great option for the summer time when salad greens are hard to find, particularly during the lockdown.
