About

This salad gets its Indian flair from garam masālā and roasted pāpad, a crisp lentil cracker that can be found at any at any Indian grocer (and many international ones). I recommend enjoying this salad during late summer or early fall, but don’t feel restricted by the seasons. Add cubes of tofu, chickpeas, or grilled tempeh to make this meal heartier.
