This Indian-Spiced Caesar salad creates a fusion twist on the classic recipe. Crispy sourdough croutons seasoned with aromatic garam masala and turmeric, paired with Greek yoghurt infused with mint chutney and roasted cumin powder. Fresh romaine lettuce, cheery tomatoes and red onions give an eye-appealing base, while Parmesan cheese and fresh cilantro add the finishing touch. The mint chutney and chaat masala add complexity that replaces the umami from Worcestershire sauce, while the roasted cumin provides earthiness similar to Dijon mustard.

Healthy Tips & Facts

  • If the sourdough is very sour, reduce the lemon juice in the dressing slightly. 
  • Mint chutney adds brightness and replaces the traditional use of Dijon mustard. 
  • Let the dressing sit for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavours to combine well. 
  • You can also add grilled chicken pieces or paneer cubes to make it protein-rich.
