Mushroom, Dalia and Vegetable Salad

Healthy salad which i have at Moshe's cafe at Crosswords Mumbai. This is my attempt to get it right. I still suggest you go to the cafe and have it there.

Serves 2

1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
1/3 cup sliced capsicums ( red, yellow and green)
1/2 cup shredded iceburg lettuce
1/4 cup dalia
1/4 cup carrot, cut into strips
1/2 cup cucumber, chopped
1/3 cup chopped low fat paneer or tofu
chopped coriander for garnish

For the dressing
200 ml low fat curds
1 tsp lemon juice
a pinch of sugar if curd is sour
salt to taste

For the dressing
1. Beat the curds and add the lemon juice and a pich of salt.

Method:
1. Cook the dalia in 1/4 cup low fat milk and 1/4 cup water for 10 minutes or till tender.
2. Drain and set aside to cool.
3. Add all the ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate.
4. Just before serving add the curd dressing and mix well.

Variation : Use 2 tablespoons of Balsamic vinegar instead of the curd dressing.
