This vegetarian salad reminds me of the makings of a typical creamy chicken salad, with grapes and celery and walnuts…except without the chicken or the mayo!! Instead, I use chickpeas and my simply spinach dip with a little curry as its creamy dressing. The result is deliciously filled with nutrients and is very satisfying! Try this yummy Curry Spinach Chickpea Salad the next time you have a desire for the chicken salad with fruit. It’s a scrumptious and healthy alternative!

  • 1 cup red grapes cut in halves
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Place the raw spinach in a food processor and grind very briefly (you do NOT want it to get like a paste or pesto, it should still be "dry")

    I just made this for lunch and it is SO delicious! I texted my daughter & told her she HAS to come over and try it! I am an Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching student (nearly done!) at IIN and your husband, Dr. Katz, is one of our visiting teachers. I literally just finished watching his video which you were on and decided to check out your site…made this and I am hooked. Thank you for providing delicious, nutritious recipes. I will definitely be sharing your site with my clients.

    Looks yum. What if I don’t have a food processor? Can I just chop the spinach leaves instead?

      I have a pair of kitchen scissors that I find great to cut up herbs, spinach etc if I don’t want to have to use a processor / which I find works more easily than just using a knife for things like this.

    This looks great….. how would you make it for a vegan?

      Hi Susan! The best way would be to use a vegan plain yogurt in place of the Greek yogurt I use. Unfortunately, I have yet to find one that doesn’t have some added sugar, which is why I didn’t make it vegan in the first place. If you come across one you like that is wholesome please let me know as I would love that as an option too! 🙂
