22 Healthy Indian Salad Recipes That Actually Fill You Up

Think salad means a few slices of cucumber and tomato next to the dal? Or a bowl of lettuce that leaves you hungry an hour later? Indian salads can be filling, tasty meals, from sprout bhel and kachumber to paneer tikka bowls.

That's why we made 500 Healthy Indian Salad Recipes: 11 books of chaat-style salads, protein bowls, fruit salads, office jars, kids' salads and budget recipes. Below are 22 salads from inside the collection, picked from across all 11 books.

Why These Salad Recipes Actually Work

They use Indian flavours, so they taste like food you already love: chaat masala, roasted jeera, green and imli chutney, curd, coconut and curry leaves, with sprouts, chana, paneer, tofu, dals and millets to make them filling. The books are sorted by need, including a book of office desk lunches, one for kids and parties, and one of budget salads that cost around ₹20 to ₹70 to make.
