03 Method

Step 1

Pour oil in the smallest pot you have. Turn the heat to medium. After 2 minutes, add black mustard seeds. Keep an eye on the oil. Once the seeds stop popping, turn the heat off and let the tadka cool down.
Step 2

Add rest of the ingredients and whisk well. The tadka salad dressing is ready. You can make it a day in advance, too, and refrigerate and carry to work the next day.
Step 3

My ideal salad components which complement this dressing are: greens divided into arugula and lettuce, green olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, pepitas, soaked walnuts, fresh mozzarella, apple or pear, and homemade croutons.
Step 4

Note: You can replace mustard seeds with cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, carom seeds, or nigella seeds.
