Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium beets, roasted and diced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, washed and dried

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and roast for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Allow to cool, then peel and dice.
  2. In a large salad bowl, combine the fresh spinach, diced beets, mandarin orange segments, and sliced red onion.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
