- Next add all the other salad ingredients to the bowl.Sprinkle the rest of the chaat masala on top.
- In a small mixing bowl, add all the dressing ingredients and mix using a fork to blend the salt in.

For AIP chaat masala:
- Add all ingredients listed under AIP Chaat masala to a small bowl and mix well using a fork. Substitute this for 'chaat masala' in the above recipe
Notes
To make this recipe AIP compliant, you will need to omit the regular chaat masala and instead make 'AIP Chaat masala' as mentioned in the recipe. You can of course skip the chaat masala altogether and the salad would still taste good except it won't be my chaat salad!
