Notes

Substitutes for the ingredients and Optional Ad-ons
Salad Greens-Add your choice of salad greens. Baby Kale or a bag of Spring Greens mix, any other variety of Lettuce.
Seeds and Nuts-Roasted Walnuts, Almonds, Pecans, Cashew nuts , Pine nuts,Pumpkin, Roasted Flax Seeds are great options to add the crunch.
Cheese- Goat Cheese or Blue Cheese. Herbed cheese taste great in salads.
Protein- Herbed Paneer/Indian Cottage Cheese cubes, lightly sauteed tofu or any grilled meat of your choice is perfect to add in the salad.
Croutons or toasted bread /herbed crunchy bagel bites for the additional crunch. Add it just before serving the salad.
Others- Olives, pickled Jalapenos, Red Bell Pepper
Substitutes for the Vinaigrette Ingredients
Skip Balsamic Vinegar if you can't source it and add any good plant based vinegar. I love using apple cider and pomegranate. Get more classy with Red Wine Vinegar!!
Freshly squeezed Lemon juice or Orange juice also works well in the recipe.
Substitute Maple Sugar , Brown Sugar/Coconut Sugar for Jaggery powder(Vegans). Non-Vegans can also use Honey.

Optional Add ons in the vinaigrette-

Add some dried herbs like rosemary or oregano.
Dijon Mustard,
Minced Garlic,
Finely chopped Shallots/Onions
