Instructions
To begin making the Classic Indian Sliced Salad, first, wash and wipe all the vegetables thoroughly. Peel the skin of the cucumber and carrot. Slice the tomato and onion, setting them aside for later use.
Next, attach the thin slicing blade to your food processor or Masterchef jar. Close the lid securely. Place the cucumber into the spout of the lid and turn on the processor to create thin cucumber slices. Once the cucumbers are sliced, transfer them into a bowl and set them aside.
Now, take the carrot and place it into the spout of the lid of the processor. Switch on the processor again to slice the carrots thinly.
Once all the vegetables are sliced, take a serving plate and start by arranging the carrot slices around the edge of the plate. Follow this by layering the cucumber slices, tomato slices, and onion slices in the center, creating a colorful and fresh arrangement.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly crushed black peppercorns over the sliced vegetables. Finally, squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top for an added zing.
Serve this vibrant and refreshing Classic Indian Sliced Salad alongside a flavorful Smoked Dal Makhani, Palak Paneer, Jeera Rice, or Tawa Paratha for a delightful and healthy weeknight dinner. Alternatively, enjoy this salad as a midday snack to give you a refreshing boost of vitamins and crunch.
