• These foods are acidic in nature but are an important part of our daily diet and are nutritious too, hence do not avoid them totally.

•• This food is difficult to classify as acidic or alkaline hence have it only if it suits you.

* These foods are considered to be neutral, however their reactions are individualistic. Hence have them in the amounts that suit you.

Low Acidity Salad Recipes, Low acidity Indian salad recipes

Low Acidity Salad Recipes, Low acidity Indian salad recipes.   Salads are a very thoughtful addition to a menu, because they keep you full in a more natural way. Vegetables and fruits primarily make up salads.

Most vegetables are in ‘Allowed list’ for acidity except the cooked spinach and asparagus. So there is a lot of variety to choose from…. Choose your favourite veggies and toss them to make a healthy salad bowl like Beetroot and Dill Salad  or cabbage carrot and lettuce salad

Within the fruit category, plums, olives and prunes are a few fruits which are best avoided if you get acidity bouts. These are acidic in nature. On the other hand, citrus fruits like lemon, orange, pineapple and sweet lime though acidic in nature turn alkaline upon digestion.

Thus, these too are safe. Banana, grapes, apple, figs, papaya, peach, chickoo, pear and so on are absolutely reliable to not cause or aggravate acidity. Apple Banana and Date Salad  and Sweet Lime and Pepper Salad are a few unique combos which are sure to please you. 

Listed here are a few sprouts based salads too. While some may argue that pulses cause acidity and bloating, the process of sprouting makes them alkaline. So if they don’t cause bloating, you can safely add them to your meals.

The best way is to combine the sprouts with other alkaline fruits and veggies to strike the perfect balance. 

Sprouts Spring Onion and Tomato Salad and Bean Sprouts and Suva Tossed Salad are surely worth trying. They do add a horde of nutrients like iron, calcium and protein along with antioxidants which build a healthy YOU.

They might aggravate acidity to their acidic nature. You can prefer fruits as a part of dressing also. Try our tried version of Fruit and Vegetable Salad with Apple Dressing and Apple Chickoo Salad with Muskmelon Dressing.

One more ingredient to be avoided is cheese – its acidic as well. Instead try a simple salad like minty apple salad recipe.
