Mama Vi's Spinach Salad With Curry and Chutney Dressing image

My mother took an East Indian cooking class at our local college. When I was a teen she tried out the recipes she liked on us kids. I remember this salad being a favorite of ours. How authentically East Indian it is, I don't know, but it is good and I haven't seen any just like it.

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup salad oil
2 tablespoons fruit chutney
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon mustard powder
3 cups fresh spinach leaves
1 1/2 cups Red Delicious apples
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup peanuts
2 tablespoons scallions

Steps:

  • Make salad dressing with first seven ingredients, blending to make the salad dressing in a food processor. Set dressing aside, cover and chill in the refrigerator for later use.
  • Prepare the vegetables by tearing the fresh spinach leaves into bite sized pieces.
  • Dice the apple into bite size pieces.
  • Dice the green onions.
  • Measure out raisins and peanuts.
  • In a large salad serving bowl, place torn fresh spinach (on bottom), apple bits, raisins, peanuts and diced green onion.
  • Dress the salad veggies pouring over them the desired amount of dressing you find appropriate to start with, and lightly toss to coat the salad.
  • Serve immediately. Salad wilts and gets soggy if not eaten right away, when prepared.
