A fresh, zingy, delicious spicy Indian salad that’s the perfect healthy side dish to go alongside curry, kebabs or spicy burgers.

Our delicious Indian salad with a spicy kick of chilli and fragrant coriander is great for serving alongside a curry, with kebabs or just as a side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

It’s inspired by the salad from our local Indian take-away and we just love it’s fresh, zingy taste alongside our favourite curries.

Ingredients for Indian Salad

  • 2-3 Little Gem lettuces – finely shredded
  • cucumber – diced
  • 6 salad tomatoes – diced
  • 1 small onion – finely chopped
  • 1 bunch of coriander – roughly chopped
  • 1 red chilli – finely sliced
  • lemon
  • sea salt

How to make Indian Salad

To make up a big dish of Indian salad you’ll need two Little Gem lettuces, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, red chillies, coriander and lemon juice.

Simply shred the lettuce and dice up all the salad vegetables, finely slice the chilli, I keep the seeds in as I like the salad to give a really spicy kick of heat.

Toss all the ingredients together in a bowl and squeeze over a drizzle of lemon juice and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Totally delicious and ridiculously simple.

Make our spicy salad your way…

  • add some protein – turn this into a main course salad – try chicken, prawns, tofu, or grilled halloumi or simply throw in a can of chickpeas.
  • skip the chilli – if you don’t like things too hot
