Garam Masala and Papad Salad
A vibrant, crunchy salad with toasted lentil crackers and warm spices
Why This Recipe Works
This salad transforms standard garden greens with the crunch of crushed papad and a warm, spiced dressing. It is an excellent way to use seasonal fruit like Honeycrisp apples alongside earthy root vegetables.
Instructions
Combine a small amount of the dressing with the carrot and cucumber in a large mixing bowl, tossing until the vegetables are thoroughly glossy and coated.
Add the mixed greens and apple slices, then toss gently with your hands or tongs until the leaves are just coated. Taste a leaf and add more dressing if the flavor needs brightening.
Arrange the salad on a serving plate and scatter the pistachios, raisins, and mint over the top.
Crush the roasted papad over the greens and finish with a dusting of chat masala. Serve immediately while the crackers are still crisp.
