My dish for this month's potluck party hosted by Jagruti is healthy Mediterranean Salad. All the ingredients are easily available and it makes a light meal by itself.
Ingredients:
Chickpeas ... 1 cup (boiled)
Tomatoes ... 1 (diced) ( I have used cherry tomatoes)
Olives ....... 6-7 (sliced)
Onion ....... 1 chopped into small pieces
Parsley .... handful (chopped ) you may substitute it with coriander
Feta cheese .....2 tbsps (crumbled) you may substitute this with paneer
For the dressing:
Olive oil .... 1 tbsp
Lemon juice or vinegar .. 1 tbsp ( I have used Balsamic Vinegar )
Garlic ..... 2 cloves (crushed)
Hung curd ... 1 tbsp
Black pepper ... to taste
Salt .......... to taste
Zaatar .... 1 tsp ( if you don't have you can skip it. Use crushed bhuna jeera instead )
Method:
1. Mix all the salad ingredients.
2. In a bowl whisk together the dressing ingredients.
3. Pour the dressing in the salad ingredients and toss them well.
Refrigerate and serve it chilled.

What is hung curd that is used in the dressing?
ReplyDeleteLuci, put the yogurt in a muslin cloth and hang it to drain the water.. the thick residue which we get in the cloth is called hung curd.
