18 May, 2019 by Mini Ribeiro
Come summer and a light, flavourful salad, is what your palate craves for. Eating a salad does not necessarily mean having to stay hungry or compromising on taste. Salads can be appeasing, packed with the nutrients and tickling the palate with the varied flavour profiles. Mumbai restaurants offer a plethora of inventive salads, across cuisines to suit every palate. With crunchy vegetables, proteins, nuts, oodles of fibre, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, topped with refreshing dressings, these salads can be just the meal you are looking for. Here are my top 5 picks in Mumbai.

Aesthetically presented, this salad wows you at first sight. A bite into this chilled and compressed salad and your taste buds are exhilarated. The balsamic dressing, hint of olive powder and feta mousse, teases your palate, leaving you satiated.
