This Indian goat cheese salad is one of my favorite quick weeknight meals because it comes together in just fifteen minutes flat. I love how the creamy goat cheese plays against the warm spices, especially that toasted cumin and garam masala that give it an authentic Indian flavor. The spinach is absolutely packed with iron and nutrients, which makes me feel good about serving this to my family. What really sold me on this recipe is how simple and affordable it is to throw together, yet it tastes like something from a restaurant. The chickpeas add a satisfying protein boost, while the dried cranberries and flaxseeds bring in a little sweetness and crunch that keeps things interesting.
