Ingredients

1/2 cup paneer (mashed)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
6–7 dates (pitted)
6 canned peaches
6 strawberries
6 figs
1/4 cup cashew nuts (roasted)
1/4 cup corn (cooked or raw)
1/4 bunch lettuce (chopped)
1 tomato (sliced)
2 tsp green chutney
1 tsp tomato chutney
1 bowl sev mixture

Instructions

Prepare the base layer: In a mixing bowl, combine mashed paneer, mayonnaise, cooked or raw corn, chopped lettuce, and green chutney. Mix thoroughly to form a creamy and flavorful base. Spread this mixture evenly as the first layer in a flat serving bowl.
Prepare the fruit and nut layer: Chop the dates, peaches, strawberries, and figs into bite-sized pieces. In a separate bowl, combine these chopped fruits with tomato chutney and roasted cashew nuts. Mix gently to ensure even distribution.
Layer the fruits over the base: Carefully spoon the fruit and nut mixture over the prepared paneer and vegetable base, spreading evenly to cover the first layer completely.
Garnish the salad: Arrange tomato slices neatly over the top layer. Sprinkle the sev mixture generously to add crunch and texture to the salad.
Chill and serve: Refrigerate the salad for 15–20 minutes before serving to enhance flavors and provide a refreshing taste. Serve chilled as a colorful, layered salad that is perfect for parties or family meals.
