Recipe - Chicken Hung Curd Salad

Salads preparation are something which has "no fix rules" defined. Innovation and experimenting  with the ingredients can create differently, yet amazing salads recipes. Salad being an important part of the meal has gathered attentions these days as people becoming more health conscious ( including me, of course,:P). Routine food and salad can be boring, so you can always make changes and create delicious salads which you and your family can relish. The 'hung curd' is one of the best things I came across recently and I am totally in love with it. Hung curd is a great substitute for Mayo or any other creamy dressing. This hung curd chicken salad is a complete meal in itself. Loaded with protein, good fibers, and very less fat. There are no fixed ingredients for this salad, check your refrigerator and toss as many veggies as you want. The creamy texture of salad what we have in restaurants use Mayo which is definitely not healthy especially for weight watchers. So, this hung curd comes to rescue which allows you to have the desired creamy texture, the veggies give a crunch to it at the same time its healthy. Have a look at the recipe:
