Red & Gold Beet Salad

This recipe is from Macheesmo, a funny guy on the web with lots of tasty, easy recipes. Roasting beets bring out their true flavor ~ little sugar bombs! Enjoy!

What you need:

• 3 large red beets

• 3 large golden beets

• 2-3 Cups of spinach

• Goat Cheese

• Olive oil

• Pistachios, optional

• A pinch of salt, flaky sea salt or kosher salt would be best

Directions:

• Remove the greens (save to saute in olive oil, they are delicious!), bottoms and give the beets a light scrub

• Lightly coat beets with olive oil and bake 1 hour at 400 degrees

• Let cool, then peel with a pairing knife, this goes quicker than you think but be careful ~ red beets stain

• On a large serving plate lay out the spinach. Cut the beets into flat disks and arrange on the spinach (caution, the red beets will stain the gold ones so keep separate if presentation is important).

• Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and crumble goat cheese on top. If you're feeling adventurous add chopped pistachios for a final flare.
