Kachoomer/Shredded Salad

My sons refer to this as an “Indian Salad” and they firmly believe that it cannot and should not be eaten with anything  other than a curry, however I think it is an amazing salad, packed with so many colourful ingredients, lots of flavour and texture. I do serve this salad with all my curry dishes, but I also like to serve it with toasted sandwiches.

With this recipe there is no “hard & fast” rule with regards to quantity and choice of ingredients for the salad and the dressing, it can all be adusted to suit your personal choice and taste.
