Seeds & Salads: A Fresh Take for the Corporate Dine

Salads have long enhanced Indian meals with freshness and flavor—but when modern ingredients like avocado, seeds, and moong dal sprouts enter the bowl, they elevate into vibrant, nutritious dishes. Whether it's Russian veg salad, chana chaat with seeds, or a refreshing cucumber–carrot mix, these vegetarian creations are perfect for everyday meals and corporate dining.

Russian Veg Salad with Indian Twist

A creamy blend of boiled potatoes, carrots, peas, and pineapple in mayo or yogurt becomes revitalized when topped with roasted sesame seeds and a pinch of chaat masala—an unexpected, delightful addition to the corporate dine.

Chana Chaat with Seed Crunch

Classic chana chaat gets a nutritious boost with flaxseeds and sunflower seeds sprinkled on top, adding texture and nutrition—ideal for energizing midday office snacks.

Moong Dal Sprout Salad

Sprouted moong dal, cucumber, tomato, coriander, lemon, and a dash of black salt—plus pumpkin seeds for crunch—make this a light, healthy star at any corporate buffet.

Cucumber–Carrot Sesame Salad

Grated cucumber and carrot dressed in lemon-honey with roasted sesame seeds, fresh mint, and cracked pepper—a hydrating, easy-to-eat option perfect for corporate dine tables.

Zucchini & Avocado Salad with Jeera Dressing

Thin zucchini ribbons and creamy avocado bite pieces, drizzled with cumin–lemon dressing and sprinkled with chia seeds—a modern, elegant vegetarian offering for corporate meals.
