Healthy Salads have a reputation of being bland and leaving a chunk of empty space in your stomach. Most people consider eating salads an atonement for all the junk they have eaten previously. Pakistanis, in particular, have a fancy concept of eating salads as a ‘side’ to their ‘regular’ meals. But in reality, they don’t have to be an atoning sacrifice or a side to something else. They are fulfilling delicious and healthy meals in themselves. Here are 7 places offering flavoursome salads in Lahore:
