I have had this in the past in an Indian restaurant near home.
I think they also used a few slices of pineapple in that.
This salad is really unique and tastes great.

Yes, there could be many variations to this. So, you are free to experiment with whatever you like. Another common this used is pomegranate seeds.
They add taste & color to the salad.

Indian salad contains a lot of variety.
it includes the good and the testy spices in it.
well Indian salads are mainly consisted of the vegetable, curd and the cream. which is flavored with the Indian spices itself like menthol and the extra spices.
they are good for health.
good for digestion and good for the digestive system.
they are yummy in taste and they do come in lots of variety.
i like them.
