A classic Indian street snack, Masala Peanut Salad combines crunchy peanuts with finely chopped veggies, tart lemon juice, and a zesty masala spice blend. This protein-packed salad is a fresh and healthy nibble that's easy to prepare in under 15 minutes. The key is boiling the peanuts just until tender, without turning them mushy. Paired with a steaming cup of masala chai, it's the perfect pick-me-up.
