Ingredients
Beets
Spinach or other green variety
Feta cheese
Optional pecans or walnuts to top
Poppyseed Dressing
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1 TB poppy seeds
1/3 c. cider vinegar
1/2-1 c. oil (I used olive oil)
Directions
Roast the Beets
Preheat oven to 350°.
Peel beets and cut into cubes. Then, line a large cooking sheet/pan with aluminum foil. Spray foil with cooking spray and spread beets on foil-covered pan. Cover beets with a second piece of foil and pinch together to make a packet. No need to add holes to vent. Bake for about 40 minutes. Beets should come out moist and tender!
Cool Beets
Cool beets in fridge before serving over salad. You can put them in a large zip-top baggie or leave them right in the foil. Beets may stain your storage containers if you use them for storage!
Dressing
Mix together all dressing ingredients listed above.
Mix together the cooled beets, feta cheese (goat or crumbled goat cheese will also work), spinach, and yummy poppyseed dressing!
