Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 red onion, sliced into 1/4-inch rings
2 to 3 slices whole-grain bread, cubed
1/2 pound beets (about 2 small beets)

1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
12 ounces spinach, well washed, stems removed
4 ounces button mushrooms, stems trimmed, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fill a bowl with ice and water; add onion; let sit for 30 minutes. Drain, and set aside. Place bread on a baking tray; toast, tossing occasionally, until golden and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes; set croutons aside to cool.
  • Place beets in a small saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain; cool until able to handle. Peel, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes; set aside.

Reduce heat to low; keep dressing warm. Add cooked beet cubes to dressing, and stir to coat.
