View the next recipe for this meal.

What a lovely way to showcase both chestnuts and those sweet little cuties on a bed of spinach greens. Creamy yogurt dressing brings everything together. If you don’t have dates, use dried apricots or cranberries instead. Walnuts substitute nicely for the chestnuts if they are not available.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup plain yogurt, or vegan mayo for a dairy-free option
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
  • 2 dates, or 4 dried apricots, or dried cranberries
  • 3 cups baby spinach, or other salad greens
  • 6 chestnuts, more or less, roasted, fresh* or from a jar
  • 2 clementines, peeled and segmented

Preparation Instructions

Whisk together the yogurt, mustard, and vinegar. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking.

Remove the seed of the dates and roughly chop. Alternatively, chop the apricots or simply use cranberries.

Toss the greens in the salad dressing.

Break or cut the chestnuts* into bite size pieces. Peel and segment the clementines- remove any seeds. Arrange the nuts and clementines on the dressed greens.

*Roast clementines: Preheat the oven to 400. Score each one on the flat side with an “X” mark. Place in the oven in on a metal baking sheet for 10 minutes, toss lightly and continue to bake checking every 5-10 minutes until the chestnuts burst slightly. Cool. Peel and enjoy.
