Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups boiled corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 apples cored and chopped
  • 2 cups baby spinach chopped
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 - 4 tablespoon lemon or lime juice (or to taste)
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon chaat Masala powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped
  • 2-3 tablespoon crumbled Paneer or Goat Cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare all the ingredients and chop the apples in the last to prevent the browning of the apples.
  • In a large bowl, take everything except crumbled paneer or Goat cheese. Toss or mix to combine everything well.
  • Cover the bowl tightly and let it chill until serving. When ready to serve, sprinkle crumbled paneer or cheese and enjoy.

Serving and Storing Suggestions

  • We can serve this salad right away or cover it tightly and keep it in the fridge until serving time.
  • When ready to serve, add some cheese if you want to. You can also squeeze some more lime juice if you prefer to.
  • This salad can be kept in the fridge, tightly covered, for up to two days. But it is best served on the same day it is made.
  • The next day, the apples will change color, which you might not like. However, the taste will not change even on the next day.

Notes

  1. Corn: I boiled frozen corn according to the package instructions. You can skip the boiling and use thawed frozen corn in the recipe.
  2. Apples: I have used Gala apples, which are crisp, sweet, and sour. But you can use your favorite apples for this salad. Make sure to chop the apples last to prevent them from browning. Or, after chopping apples, sprinkle some lime or lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. Baby Spinach: I love baby spinach in my salad, but you can skip it if you don’t want to use it. Or you can also add other greens, like spring mix or baby kale.
  4. Coriander: I have used fresh coriander leaves, but other fresh herbs like parsley or mint can also be added.
  5. Chaat Masala: I love to use chaat masala in my fruit salad, and I have added it to this salad, too, which brings a nice Indian flavor. However, you can skip it if you don’t have it or don’t prefer it.
  6. Paneer or Goat Cheese: Crumbled paneer or cheese makes the salad creamy and delicious. For a vegan diet, simply leave it out.
