    This spinach salad with mango chutney dressing is a refreshing change from the typical garden salad. The chutney dressing coats the spinach leaves with a glossy shine and provides the perfect contrast to the tart green apple, chopped green onion and roasted whole peanuts.

    I eat this salad with all kinds of things but it is perfect served with any East Indian inspired main like Tandoori Chicken or this Whole Roasted Cauliflower.

    Mango Chutney Dressing

    The mango chutney salad dressing has just a teaspoon of curry powder. If you're a bit hesitant about using curry in the kitchen this is a good recipe to ease your taste buds into the world of Indian spices. It's not a traditional East Indian recipe but rather a fresh spinach salad with a twist.

    For this recipe I use store bought, sweet mango chutney which should be naturally gluten free. If you like lots of heat buy hot mango chutney.

    Whenever possible I support brands that have clear allergy information on their labels and easy-to-find, helpful information on their website.

    Pantry Tips

    Like any homemade salad dressing use a clean bottle or Mason jar, take care not to contaminate the dressing and it will last in the fridge for months. I only make homemade salad dressing and I never put a date on them. I try to label the jar and I keep my label maker right in the kitchen for that job.

    For ease I use an apple slicer that cuts and cores an apple into eight pieces, (you might prefer this one that cuts an apple into 16 pieces). Then it's easy to cut the slices into chunks.

    This recipe is adapted from Susan Mendelson’s Expo ’86 cookbook, my souvenir from Expo ’86 in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.
