Green Salad with Honey and Curd dressing

Green Salad with Honey and Curd Dressing


An exotic combination of greens, cucumber and avocado is perked up with tangy grapes.

Laced with a peppy honey-curd-mustard dressing, resulting in a tongue-tickling but heart-friendly salad. 

Although avocado is high in fat, it contains good fatty acids (mono unsaturated fatty acids) that help to lower blood cholesterol.
