Fusion Greek slad

Indian Twist to Greek Salad with Homemade Herb Paneer. Serve this cool Mediterranean - style dish alongside grilled chicken, fish or pork, or on its own with crusty bread. I have grilled the bell peppers for the salad but that is totally personal choice, even if you like salad vegetables can be dressed in vinaigrette few hours before serving for more matured flavors, season with salt and pepper just before serving.
