Curried Red Potato Spinach Salad with Almonds  | @naturallyella

I have a weakness for potato salad. Not the kind one might traditionally think of when I say this (you know, with mayo) but rather a salad that has greens but is also accompanied by a potato is some form or another. This started with the Garlic Roasted Potato, Spinach and hard boiled egg salad but soon moved into many different versions. I feel like a broken record sometimes on the subject of curry powder but if you can find one you like, it will serve many different uses in your kitchen.

In terms of this salad, I like a mild curry powder however, I've also been known to throw feta into this salad, which makes me reach for the spicier version. In the fall I also envision this salad with sweet potatoes but the cute red potatoes were just calling my name.

On a different note- I'm headed out to a trip to learn about Almonds and then to Minneapolis on Friday (super hooray!) Want to tag along? Be sure to follow along on Instagram!

  1. This sounds wonderful! I love curried things, but would never think to combine it into a salad.....or with potatoes actually....other than in a vegetable curry. Yum! Great recovery food too, especially the turmeric in curry powder!

  2. Oh, I'm so glad I saw this. This falls into the category of things I never ever would have thought to make on my own, but when I see it here, I know I will HAVE to make it. I love the mild curry powder from Penzeys- despite being "mild" it's got SO much flavor. Can't wait to try it here. Thanks for sharing!

  3. I recently got a vegetable box delivery and had a type of potato I've never had before. It completely turned my head, I've only bothered to buy the cheapest potatoes at the supermarket, thinking that they are just for bulking out or flavouring with lots of salt, pepper and other seasonings. The ones i have at the moment are so full of flavour, I boil them and can eat them on their own out the pan! i think they would work in this recipe, I can't wait to try it. Have a great trip looking forward to seeing all your Instas!

  4. Yay, salads with potato! I most frequently make a super-minimal nicoise salad with just potato, green beans, and chopped egg. So good! I love the idea of spicy roasted potatoes with hearty spinach. 🙂

  5. Thanks for the recipe. These photos literally made my mouth water 😛 I love everything with spinach that is both healthy and delicious 🙂 But recently, I've read that spinach should be eaten with tomatoes to absorb iron properly. Found it here:

    Do you know anything more about it?






  6. Made this for dinner . Amazing flavor and so easy to prepare . Thank you for making meals so flavorful and fun to prepare!

  7. Doubled this salad and took it to a potluck where the main dishes were Indian food and it worked great as a side salad. I like the bright lemon-y dressing with the curry powder. Thanks for a great salad recipe 🙂
