MAMA VI'S SPINACH SALAD WITH CURRY AND CHUTNEY DRESSING



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.

Had this at a pot luck dinner and I had to have the recipe. The combination of fruits and nuts, chutney and spinach is wonderful. And if you have some rotisserie chicken left over from last nights dinner, chop it up and make this a Main dish Salad.
