Instructions

Dressing:

  1. Blitz ingredients in a food processor until it becomes a smooth, bright green sauce.
  2. Use extra water to thin to a pourable consistency.

Salad:

  1. Put the tomatoes in a bowl. Sprinkle with pinch of salt, mix with your hands and leave to rest for 10 minutes (extracts a bit of juice, makes them juicier).
  2. Drain the tomatoes. Mix with the onion in a serving bowl.
  3. Drizzle dressing over the tomato salad.
  4. Sprinkle with a pinch of garam marsala if desired.

Notes

  • Raita is typically a thin, pourable consistency, whether used for dressing or as sauce. Recipe makes more dressing than you need for this salad because it's hard to make less in a food processor so serve leftovers with the main.
  • Nutrition assumes 1/2 cup of the Mint Dressing is used for the salad.
