Our Signature Homemade Salad Created by Vik
Vik’s Salad – A Personal Recipe Made with Passion
At Shiva’s Garden, every dish tells a story, and Vik’s Salad is one of our most personal creations. Unlike ordinary salads that simply combine vegetables with a standard dressing, Vik’s Salad was carefully developed through years of experimenting with fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and homemade recipes. It is a signature salad that reflects our passion for healthy eating while maintaining the rich flavors our guests expect from authentic Indian hospitality.
This recipe is unique to Shiva’s Garden and cannot be found anywhere else. Every serving is prepared individually using only fresh ingredients and our own homemade dressing. Because quality is our highest priority, Vik’s Salad is prepared only on special request, ensuring every guest receives the freshest possible experience.
Whether you are looking for a light lunch, a healthy starter, or a refreshing side dish to accompany your favourite Indian meal, Vik’s Salad offers an exceptional combination of freshness, texture, and flavour.
Fresh Ingredients That Make the Difference
Quality always begins with fresh ingredients.
Each serving of Vik’s Salad includes carefully selected vegetables and premium nuts to create a perfect balance between freshness, crunch, creaminess, and natural sweetness.
Our salad contains:
- Fresh cucumber
- Ripe tomatoes
- Crisp lettuce
- Fresh capsicum
- Creamy yogurt
- Premium walnuts
- Roasted peanuts
- Cashew nuts
- Our exclusive homemade dressing
Every ingredient plays an important role in creating the final flavour profile.
The cucumber provides freshness.
The tomatoes contribute natural sweetness and juiciness.
Fresh lettuce creates a light, crisp texture.
Capsicum adds colour and a gentle crunch.
The yogurt gives the salad its creamy consistency while remaining light and refreshing.
Walnuts, peanuts, and cashews add richness, texture, and a satisfying nutty flavour that transforms this salad into something far more than an ordinary side dish.
Finally, everything is brought together with our homemade dressing—a recipe that has been carefully refined over time and remains one of Shiva’s Garden’s best-kept culinary secrets.
A Homemade Recipe You Will Not Find Anywhere Else
Many restaurants serve standard salads purchased from commercial suppliers.
Vik’s Salad is completely different.
It is a recipe personally developed by Vik and prepared entirely by hand in our kitchen.
Our homemade dressing is made fresh and perfectly complements every ingredient without overpowering the natural flavours of the vegetables.
Because every serving is prepared individually, we are able to maintain exceptional quality and freshness.
This attention to detail is one of the reasons why guests who discover Vik’s Salad often return specifically to enjoy it again.
Prepared Fresh Only on Special Request
Unlike dishes that are prepared in advance, Vik’s Salad is made only when requested.
This allows us to use the freshest vegetables and ensures the salad arrives at your table with maximum flavour and crispness.
Preparing the salad on demand also reflects our philosophy that great food should never be rushed.
Every serving receives the same care and attention as our signature Indian curries.

Vik’s Salad is an excellent option for guests who appreciate fresh, nutritious food without compromising on flavour.
It pairs beautifully with many of our Indian specialities, including:

Many guests also enjoy Vik’s Salad as a light meal on its own during warm summer days.

Perfect Balance of Flavour and Texture
One of the most distinctive qualities of Vik’s Salad is its harmony of textures.
Every bite combines crisp vegetables, smooth yogurt, crunchy walnuts, roasted peanuts, buttery cashews, and our creamy homemade dressing.
