Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and chill them in iced water for 15 minutes to maintain crispness. Cube the paneer into small, bite-sized pieces.

Combine and Dress

  • Drain the spinach completely. In a large bowl, gently combine the spinach, moong sprouts, paneer, chopped tomatoes, green chilies, and coriander.

Season and Serve

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and crushed black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately, or chill for later. Add salt just before serving to prevent the spinach from wilting.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For extra flavor, marinate the paneer in a little lemon juice and salt for 15 minutes before adding it to the salad.
  • Add other vegetables like shredded carrots or cucumber for extra crunch and nutrients.
  • If you prefer a spicier salad, add more green chilies or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • For a creamier dressing, add a dollop of plain yogurt or Greek yogurt along with the olive oil and lemon juice.
