In this Anglo-Indian adaptation of the Snickers Salad, we incorporate the flavors of Anglo-Indian cuisine by adding cardamom and cinnamon to the dressing. These spices infuse the salad with warm and exotic undertones, giving it a unique twist.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Yogurt — Use plain yogurt with a creamy consistency for the dressing. Greek yogurt can also be used for a thicker texture.
  • Cardamom — Ground cardamom adds a warm and aromatic flavor. If possible, use freshly ground cardamom for the best taste.
  • Snickers candy bars — Chop the candy bars into small pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the salad.
  • Apples — Choose crisp and slightly tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Pink Lady, for a refreshing contrast to the sweetness of the candy bars.
  • Bananas — Use ripe but firm bananas to add a natural sweetness and creamy texture to the salad.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a healthier version, you can substitute the Snickers candy bars with dark chocolate chunks or dried fruits.
  • Add a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
  • Serve the salad in individual dessert bowls or glasses for an elegant presentation.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dressing, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the yogurt mixture.
  • Feel free to experiment with different fruits, such as pears or grapes, to customize the salad to your liking.
