When you are a vegetarian (when living with parents and living in India, following keto diet is difficult as you really don’t get foreign vegetables like kale, arugula, asparagus, etc that commonly. Plus lockdown

Paneer (or cottage cheese as it’s called in English), is good sauce of high protein low carb option. Adding some flavour and colour to the salad make it look more exotic. Vegetables like zucchini, cherry tomatoes (again not so common vegetables in India, but available in BigBasket) and cabbage really add colour and flavour to the salad. And well, a salad is always incomplete without a lettuce. In my case, the lettuce being iceberg.

So let’s get on with the recipe.
