This in one of my two, favorite healthy salads I routinely buy at M Café from the LA Times Food Section. The other is their Kale Salad. Both store well in the fridge for up to five days. They’re both SOooo yummy and healthy for you!Ingredients
Curried cashews
2 cups (1/2 pound) cashews
1 T maple syrup, preferably grade B
3/4 tsp. curry powder
Pinch salt
Directions
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the cashews on a baking sheet and roast for 5 minutes.
2. While the cashews are roasting, in a medium bowl, combine the maple syrup, curry powder and salt.
3. Toss the cashews with the spiced maple syrup, then spread again on the baking sheet.
4. Roast the cashews for 15 more minutes, tossing every 5 minutes, until toasted and aromatic. Remove from heat and cool well. This makes more cashews than are needed for the remainder of the recipe; the cashews can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
