Promoting healthy eating habits, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) took to social media to share a healthy and delicious salad recipe. Made with beetroot, paneer (cottage cheese) and carrots, the salad is loaded with nutrients derived from each of the ingredients.

Beetroot and carrot contain lutein, beta-carotene and alpha that are good for the heart. Together, they help improve digestion and relieve constipation. Paneer or cottage cheese, on the other hand, is rich in protein, and has a positive effect on muscle quality and metabolism, research has shown.
