Shallot & Curd Salad
By Priya Narayan
During the summer months, our appetite is at an all-time low. This is when we come up with some light yet tasty salads that pep up the appetite and the mood for some food.
Shallots are a powerhouse of vitamins and play a crucial role as an antioxidant, keeps the blood pressure and diabetes in check and improves metabolism. Include shallots in your diet either in your cooking or in a salad, and get the best out of them. Here is an all-season favourite salad in my house that is extremely healthy and delicious.
This recipe has been revamped by Harish, an In-flight Technologies professional based out of Mumbai.
