Spinach and Goat Cheese Salad with Beetroot Vinaigrette image

I tried this salad in Rehoboth Beach, DE and vowed to duplicate it! It is so addicting with the crunchy sugared walnuts and creamy goat cheese. The vinaigrette is to die for. I don't even care for beets! Great for holiday dinners. A must try!

This salad is way too complicated to make. I don't have time for all those steps.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste.

I'm not sure about the combination of spinach, goat cheese, and beets. It sounds a bit strange.
