Let's be honest, the word "salad" doesn't always spark excitement. For many, it brings to mind a boring bowl of leaves that leaves you raiding the pantry an hour later. It’s time to change that perception with a salad that is not only bursting with fresh flavour and texture but is also genuinely filling, thanks to a double dose of protein.
This Ultimate Protein-Packed Salad is a game-changer for your lunch routine. It combines the goodness of two incredible protein sources: soft, creamy paneer and hearty, fibrous chickpeas. We recommend using Joi Farm's Creamy A2 Paneer, which provides a wonderful soft texture that contrasts perfectly with the crunchy cucumber, sharp onions, and juicy tomatoes. It’s a powerhouse of nutrition that will keep you energized through the afternoon without weighing you down.
Putting it together couldn't be easier. In a large bowl, simply toss 150g of cubed Joi Farm Paneer with a cup of boiled chickpeas, and add plenty of crunchy, chopped cucumber, onions, and tomatoes. For the dressing, there's no need for anything fancy; just squeeze some fresh lemon juice, add a dash of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
This recipe proves that a salad can be the most exciting thing on your menu. It’s the perfect solution for a quick work-from-home lunch or a light dinner, delivering serious satisfaction and making it easier than ever to reach your daily fitness goals.
