@ Nikhil, except solanecious crops Pea, Okra, Pepper, Carrot, Brocolli reported to tolerate salinity at different levels.
Dear Nikhil Ambish Mehta
According to the article, “Tolerance of vegetable crops to salinity” Asparagus has been considered to be the most salt-tolerant vegetable crop commercially available but it grows better in sandy, well-drained soils than in heavy- textured soils. In the first year after establishment, Francois (1987) found that spear yield was reduced by only 2% per unit increase in soil salinity (ECe) above a threshold of 4.1 dS m1. In contrast to other plant species, ion contents of spears and ferns remained relatively stable with increasing soil salinity. As salinity increased, increases in total soluble solids contributed to increased osmotic potential in spears. Salinity reduced yields more severely during the second cropping year as a result of its carry over effects on the root mass during the first year. In the same study, salinity up to 9.4 dS m1 in the soil water (ECe4.7 dS m1) had no significant effect on germination, but additional salinity increases delayed rate and decreased final percentage.

From my practical experiences, while working in hot arid region with saline soil and water, spinach, beetroot, turnip, cole crops are amongst the highest tolerant to salinity, while carrot, radish, onion, fenugreek, okra, can also tolerate good salinity.
Dear Nikhil Ambish Mehta Some salt tolerant vegetables are: Beets, Bell peppers, Broccoli, Cabbage, Kale, Loquats and Spinach. Details can be accessed at:

Thanks!!
Salt Tolerance Vegetable Crops: pea, okra, tomato, eggplant, pepper, carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, and potato.
