SPINACH SALAD WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES AND SPICED CHICKPEAS



Spinach Salad With Roasted Vegetables and Spiced Chickpeas image

The best main-course salads are precariously balanced things, requiring planning and forethought to come out well. You need to make sure that your mix of vegetables, proteins and starches hits all the requisite flavor and textural notes - sweet, salty, tangy, fresh, crisp, soft and rich. In the end, a main-course salad should feel virtuous and a little decadent, and eminently satisfying. This recipe works on all those levels. It has crunchy, salty chickpeas imbued with spice. There are sweet potatoes and carrots roasted until exquisitely tender. The creamy Greek yogurt dressing spiked with garlic is creamy and rich. And finally, there's the spinach, which is earthy and fresh.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 large sweet potatoes (1 1/4 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium carrots (1/2 pound), peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
Black pepper, as needed
2 thyme sprigs
1/2 teaspoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
5 ounces spinach (6 cups)
2 tablespoons thinly sliced shallot

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with a clean dishtowel or several layers of paper towels and spread drained chickpeas evenly on top. Pat dry with another dishtowel or paper towels.
  • Toss sweet potato and carrots with 2 tablespoons oil and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet and top with thyme sprigs. Roast, tossing occasionally, until golden-brown and very tender, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • While vegetables are roasting, toss chickpeas with 2 tablespoons oil, chile powder, cumin and a large pinch of salt. Spread on another rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to the oven 10 minutes after you've put in the potatoes and carrots; roast until crisp and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Using the flat side of a knife or a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic with a large pinch of salt until it forms a paste. Add it to a small bowl and whisk in yogurt and lemon juice. Slowly whisk in remaining 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, combine spinach, roasted vegetables, chickpeas and shallot. Toss with enough dressing to lightly coat vegetables and greens and serve at once.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound baby spinach
6 cups (about 1/2 recipe) Roasted Fall Vegetables, warm or cooled, cut into bite-size pieces
2 ounces feta cheese, sliced or crumbled

Steps:

  • Place oil, vinegar, and mustard in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper; whisk to combine. Add spinach, and toss to coat.
  • Dividing evenly, place spinach on four serving plates, and top with Roasted Fall Vegetables and feta.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender spinach: The fresher the spinach, the better your salad will be. Look for leaves that are deep green in color and free of any blemishes or wilting.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly: Spinach can often contain dirt and grit, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before eating. Rinse the leaves under cold water and then pat them dry with a salad spinner or paper towels.
  • Use a variety of toppings: To add flavor and texture to your salad, add a variety of toppings such as crumbled feta cheese, sliced almonds, dried cranberries, or diced apples.
  • Make a homemade dressing: A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a great way to add flavor to your salad. Avoid using store-bought dressings, which are often high in calories and unhealthy fats.
  • Serve immediately: Spinach salad is best served immediately after it's made. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the dressing and salad ingredients separately in the refrigerator and assemble just before serving.

Conclusion:

Veggie spinach salad is a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's packed with nutrients like vitamins A, C, and K, and it's also a good source of fiber and protein.
