One of the best examples to prove that good health comes in tasty and innovative forms! Crunchy Salad with Curd Bread Mayonnaise is a delicious salad that is packed with the goodness of curds and walnuts, which make it a storehouse of protein and calcium. The assortment of veggies and fruits used in the salad sneak in some antioxidants and vitamin A as well.
Here, we have tried to avoid readymade mayonnaise and made an innovative alternative using curds as the main ingredient, flavoured with mustard powder and white pepper powder, and thickened with bread. This is not only healthy but awesomely tasty too! Serve this salad immediately upon tossing, in order to enjoy the exciting range of textures and flavours that it offers.

Truly crunchy! The veggies and walnuts give a very good mouthfeel... the curd bread mayo perfectly perks up the flavour with the addition of pepper powder and mustard powder... quite filling and a very good option as a healthy snack too.
Great
