Lettuce, Green Apple and Blueberry Salad | Indian style salad with caramelised walnut | green apple salad |
Lettuce, Green Apple and Blueberry Salad is a refreshing and colorful Indian-style salad that beautifully balances sweet, tangy, and crunchy flavors. Made with fresh lettuce, green apples, blueberries, and tomatoes, it delivers a burst of nutrition and taste in every bite. The highlight of this salad is the caramelized walnuts, which add a touch of sweet nuttiness and crunch that perfectly complements the crisp apples and juicy berries. Tossed in a lemony olive oil dressing, this green apple salad is light, vibrant, and full of flavor — making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy healthy and gourmet salads with an Indian twist.
To prepare the caramelized walnuts, sugar is gently heated with a little water until it melts and begins to thicken. Once the syrup turns golden, chopped walnuts are added and coated evenly to create a crisp, sweet layer that hardens as it cools. These walnuts not only add texture and depth to the salad but also a hint of indulgence. When combined with the freshness of lettuce and apples, and the tang of blueberries and lemon dressing, they create a delightful contrast that excites the palate with each bite.
The dressing for this salad is a simple yet flavorful mix of lemon juice, olive oil, powdered sugar, white pepper powder, and red chilli flakes (paprika). The lemon juice gives it a refreshing tang, olive oil adds smoothness, and chilli flakes bring a mild heat that balances the sweetness of the fruits. A dash of white pepper and salt rounds off the flavors, giving the salad a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy notes. This light dressing ensures the natural flavors of the ingredients shine through while keeping the salad healthy and low in calories.
This Indian-style salad with caramelized walnuts is not just delicious but also nutrient-dense and energizing. The lettuce provides hydration and fiber, green apples supply vitamin C and antioxidants, and blueberries are known for their anti-aging and immunity-boosting properties. Tomatoes add lycopene — a powerful antioxidant that promotes heart health. The addition of walnuts contributes healthy omega-3 fats that improve brain function and reduce inflammation. Together, these ingredients make this salad a powerhouse of nutrients, perfect for boosting energy and supporting overall wellness.
Overall, this Green Apple and Blueberry Salad is a fusion of freshness, nutrition, and elegance. Every spoonful offers a unique mix — the crunch of lettuce and walnuts, the juiciness of tomatoes, the tang of lemon, and the sweetness of apples and berries. It’s a treat for both the eyes and the taste buds, perfect for hot summer days or festive brunches. This salad proves that healthy eating doesn’t have to be bland — it can be vibrant, flavorful, and deeply satisfying, making it a must-try for every health-conscious food lover.
