A fresh and flavorful Indian Spinach Salad with black lentils, roasted cauliflower and roasted radishes.  Caramelized shallots and a Tempered Seed Dressing give the salad amazing flavor, depth and crunchy texture. (Serves 2 as an entree salad or 4 as a side salad.)

Indian Spinach Salad 

cauliflower, broken or cut into bite-sized florets

radishes,

Avocado oil- divided

Salt and pepper

average-sized,

ginger

teaspoon coriander seeds

mustard seeds

black pepper

cayenne pepper (adjust

tamarind paste (or sub more lime to taste)

oz baby spinach,

cilantro, roughly chopped

lime

cooked black lentils, room temp (or sub chickpeas

pistachios (optional)

Heat oven to 450 F degrees.  On a sheet pan  drizzle a couple of teaspoons of avocado oil over radishes and cauliflower.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.

Slice shallot in strips, put in a sauté pan with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, saute 5-8 minutes on medium heat until soft and lightly caramelized.  Mix in fresh ginger and salt sautéing for another 30 seconds.  Push mixture over to one side of the pan, add a tablespoon of avocado oil, when it just begins to shimmer add coriander, cumin and mustard seeds.  Stir constantly for about 3 minutes until they start to brown just a bit.  Remove from heat.

Mix seeds and shallots with black pepper, cayenne and tamarind paste.  Set aside.

In your serving bowl, toss together spinach and cilantro with a teaspoon of avocado oil, a few shakes of salt and pepper and a squeeze of about half of a lime.

Spoon the caramelized shallot dressing on top of the greens.  It is ok if it is still slightly warm wilting the spinach a bit.  I find it best just a touch warmer then room temperature.  Layer on lentils, roasted cauliflower and radishes, top with toasted pistachios.

The flavor in this salad is off the charts! I had to do a little improv as  I only had cumin seeds and ground spices but the combination of crisp char veggies with savory sweet jammy onions and spices was amazing.

We loved this salad!! I followed the recipe except I only had watermelon radishes that were a bit old.  It didn't matter they blended in really well .  Visually this salad is so pretty.  The dark green of the spinach, lightness of the cauliflower and little pockets of lentils makes you want to dive right in..  The taste of all the flavors together was sublime.  Really savory.  I was worried the spices would be overwhelming but they all fused together to make each bite just yum.  Thanks for another great recipe.

This was tasty, but I felt that the tamarind needed a little bit of sweetness to offset it. I added about half teaspoon to a teaspoon of maple syrup. I think it made it more tasty!

Delicious!!  Ever so slowly I’m converting my husband into enjoying lentils. Thanks to all your fab recipes!!

Absolutely divine! This was so delicious and unique. Will definitely make again.

I'm always looking for new, inspiring, vegan salads ~ This is it! Delish, thank you.
