Spinach Salad
November 10th, 2009 filed under Soups and Salads
This is a delicious and refreshing spinach and tomato salad. Adding walnuts and ginger dressing provides a creamy and tangy flavor.
This recipe will serve 4.
Ingredients:
- About 4 cups chopped spinach
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 apple
- 1/4 cup feta cheese (optional)
Dressing:
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon ginger juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- About 2 tablespoons water adjust as needed
Method:
- Wash the spinach and pat dry and chop them coarsely. Keep aside.
- Cut the tomatoes in halves and remove the seeds, cut them in about half inch pieces.
- Next peel and cut the apples in small pieces.
- In a salad bowl toss the spinach, tomatoes and apples together. Keep aside.
Dressing:
- Shred about 1 inch piece of ginger on fine side of shredder. Squeeze the shredded ginger between your fingers to make ginger juice.
- Next blend all the dressing ingredients together. Add the water as needed otherwise dressing will be too thick.
- Pour the dressing over salad, and sprinkle with feta cheese. Enjoy!
Suggested Variations:
- Tomatoes can be replaced with strawberries.
- Walnuts can be replaced with roasted peanuts

Aunty !!
I loved the recipe and i am definitely gonna try this. Can i substitute Balsamic Vinegar with anything else?
Thanks
This was an absolutely delicious salad! I wasn’t too sure how the apple would blend with the salad, but it provided the right amount of sweetness and offset the tanginess of the dressing so nicely. Will definitely be making this again!
I am going to have so much fun trying your recipes. I found your website awhile back, but am just now getting to use it again. I really love Panak Paneer (sp?). Is that the same thing as spinach dal?
I am sure you figured out by now…but I just came across your question. Spinach daal is not the same as Palak paneer (creamed spinach dish with Indian cheese cubes). Enjoy!
Hi Aunty, I made this salad and it was an instant hit. My husband doesn’t like lettuce, so I do not make salads that require lettuce, but this spinach salad, he relished. Thank you so much for taking so much effort and sharing your recipes with us. You look cool with the new hair-cut and glasses.
