madbakerThis week's Resolution Recipe: Spinach Yogurt Raita Salad.
Dressing:
1.5 cups yogurt
0.5 cups sour cream (We just used 2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Salad:
1 10-oz box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squoze dry (We used: 19 oz fresh spinach and arugula [arugula arugula arugula], briefly wilted in boiling water, then chopped and squoze dry)
1/3 cup cucumber, peeled and grated
2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
1/4 cup currants
1/4 cup roasted walnuts, chopped
2 Tbsp other nuts
Mix yogurt and sour cream thoroughly. Add in the rest of the dressing ingredients and mix.
Fold in the spinach and everything else.
What worked: It was different as salads go, which was a nice change. It accented slightly-greasy roast lamb well.
What didn't: It wasn't exciting.
Will I make it again? Meh. Maybe but it won't be a must-repeat.
