SPINACH SALAD WITH RED AND CHIOGGIA BEETS, QUINOA AND WALNUTS
This is one of those salads where the grain enhances texture, adds a nutritional punch, but isn't what the salad is about. It's about beets and spinach. I usually slice beets for salads, or cut them into wedges. Buthere I cut them into very small dice, so the quinoa/beets/walnuts/blue cheese mixture comes together in particularly appealing bites.

Steps:
- Make the dressing. Whisk together the vinegars, salt, mustard and garlic. Whisk in the oil(s). Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the beets, quinoa, endive, walnuts, basil or tarragon, and all but 2 tablespoons of the crumbled blue cheese
- Place the spinach in another bowl and toss with 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Line a platter or a wide bowl with the spinach. Toss the remaining dressing with the beets and quinoa mixture and arrange on top of the spinach. Grind on some pepper and sprinkle the remaining blue cheese on top. Once everyone has gotten a good look at the salad, toss it all together and serve.
