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 lime juice ((Or as needed))
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon Chat Masala powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper ((Optional))
  • 2 tablespoon coriander leaves 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 the time of serving. When ready to serve, sprinkle crumbled Paneer or cheese and enjoy.
  • This salad is best served at the same day of making, and keep the leftover in the fridge for up to two days.

Notes

  1. Corn: I have used frozen corn and boiled them as per the instruction on the package. If you want, you can skip the boiling and use thawed frozen corn in the recipe.
  2. Apples:  In this salad, 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 at last to prevent the browning of apples. Or, after chopping apples, immediately squeeze 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: Adding fresh coriander leaves enhances the flavors, but other fresh herbs like parsley or mint can also be added.
  5. Chat Masala Powder: I love to use chat masala in my fruit salad. And I have added in 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: Adding a little bit of crumbled Paneer or cheese makes the salad creamy and delicious. Simply leave it out for the vegan diet.
