Apple & Roasted Beet Salad

• 4 cups loosely packed spinach, torn
• 2 cups roasted beets, skins removed and coarsely chopped
• 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
• ½ cup candied pecans
• 3 tablespoons pepitas
• ½ cup dried cranberries
• ¼ cup goat cheese, crumbled

To assemble the salad, arrange the greens first, then add the beets, apples, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and cheese. Serve immediately. If you want a dressing for this salad - none is really needed - a fruity vinaigrette is great.

• Yields: 6 servings
• Preparation Time: 15 minutes, assuming you already have roasted beets on hand
