How to Make Indian Spinach Salad

  1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, whisk together 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons mango chutney, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon curry powder, and 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
  2. Secure the lid and shake well to combine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. In a large bowl, gently toss 5 ounces (approximately 5 cups) of fresh baby spinach.
  4. Add 1 medium apple, cored and thinly sliced; 1/4 cup raisins; 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped; and 2 green onions, thinly sliced.
  5. Remove the dressing from the refrigerator, give it a good shake, and pour it over the salad.
  6. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
