baked orange paneer salad 3.0

 

Last week, I was driving back home after dropping my daughter to her school and I was hungry. I wanted to eat something healthy, low carb, yet filling. I wanted to refresh myself with some vitamin C like fresh orange juice. I wanted a healthy and hearty lunch and I wanted to eat paneer in some baked form, at the same time I was craving for some fresh salad leaves.

Hmmm. I guess too may cravings at the same time. But this situation is not unusual with me. πŸ™‚

 

paneer marinade 1.0

 

I scanned my refrigerator and found some beautiful oranges and a pack of paneer. Wow! What a relief! A part of me was satisfied immediately with the sight of those two ingredients. I quickly created orange marinade and marinated paneer pieces into it. In the meantime I again looked for some fresh salad leaves.

Yippee! I found red cabbage.

I now realize why I bought the red cabbage from the store? To create a new salad recipe. πŸ™‚ . To my relief I also found baby kale, my favorite greens to add into my salad. Healthy Baked Orange Paneer Salad was in the process and only few minutes were left to satisfy my hungry tummy. πŸ™‚

 

orange paneer salad ingredients 1.0

 

As soon as the paneer was baked I tossed all the salad ingredients together and then I wondered what was missing. AHA! A nice innovative salad dressing was missing. I saw the left over marinade and did not have a heart to throw away so I added few more ingredients and made orange dressing out of it.

  • 1 small orange (optional)
  • 1 tbsp. pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tbsp. hemp seeds

  5. With a spoon Pour 1 drop of the juice on the paneer and bake it for 15-20 minutes or until light golden in color.

  7. When the paneer is baked take it out from the oven and let it cool for 2 minutes.
  8. Toss all the salad ingredients including the baked paneer into the orange dressing and serve.

Notes

Flax oil can be substituted with extra virgin olive oil.

Dried garlic tastes better in this recipe but feel free to use garlic powder as well. (Fresh garlic will give a raw taste so try to avoid it)

You may or may not add orange pieces to the salad. But if you decide to add orange pieces to the salad it will give extra flavor to the recipe and will taste even better.

Make sure that the oranges that you use for the juice is sweet enough. Or else you may want to adjust the sugar according to the taste.
