Salad is always preferable as it is mostly a healthy dish. But salad means, unfortunately, we generally understand seasonal vegetables (that too very particular vegetables only) with just salt & lemon juice. Sometimes we also avoid lemon juice to add. In India, it is considered as a side dish with other main course meals. Mostly they make a salad dish with cucumber, tomato & onion. But there is no harm if you also try something more delicious and healthy vegetables & spices 😀 . So check this vegetable salad recipe with curd, honey and spices dressing for a nice vegetable salad.

This vegetable salad will taste both & sweet. You can also spread some pinch of chaat masala to over this vegetable salad. But it is optional.
