Veggie Lover's Delight



This one is dedicated to those who love to eat but worry about calories. This salad is quite filling and incredibly yummy. This low calorie salad is ready in a jiffy.

Ingredients:
Iceberg lettuce - leaves washed, dried and torn into bite sized pieces
Red grapes - halved
Cucumber - diced
Paneer - diced
Sour cream (low fat) - 2 tbsp
Dried basil leaves - 1/4 tsp
Oregano - 1/4 tsp (optional)
Ground black pepper - 1/4 tsp
Olive oil / low fat butter - 1 tsp
Garlic - 1 clove crushed
Salt to taste

Preparation:
Heat olive oil/butter in a pan and add crushed garlic. Add paneer and saute till golden brown. In a bowl, mix sour cream, salt, basil leaves, ground black pepper, oregano and mix well. Now add paneer, half of the lettuce, grapes, cucumber and mix all these together. In a salad bowl, lay the remaining lettuce leaves and spread the mixed ingredients on top of it. refrigerate for some time. This salad can be eaten as a side dish or main meal.

It is as appealing to the eyes as it is good to taste. For those who love non-vegetarian food, paneer can be substituted with grilled chicken/turkey.
 Enjoy!
