MY FAVORITE BEET SALAD
Fresh roasted beets over a bed of baby spinach with tomatoes, avocados, onions and feta cheese drizzled with a balsamic dressing. You can cut this recipe in half for 4 servings, though it so good the next day too that I always make plenty.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place the beets into a large bowl, and drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Lay out 2 large squares of aluminum foil on a work surface, and place 3 beets onto the center of each sheet. Fold the aluminum foil into 2 envelopes, sealing the beets into the packets; place the packets into a baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Check for tenderness after 1 hour by piercing a beet with a fork. Open the foil, and allow the beets to cool until they can be handled; peel, and slice.
- Lay out the spinach leaves on an attractive oblong-shaped serving platter. Sprinkle pieces of tomato and avocado over the spinach leaves, and top with chopped red onion. Lay the sliced warm beets over the salad, and top with crumbled feta cheese.
- Whisk together balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup of olive oil, and Dijon mustard until smooth; pour over the salad to serve.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe beets. If you can't find fresh beets, you can use canned beets, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
- To save time, you can cook the beets in advance. Simply wrap them in foil and roast them in a 350°F oven for about 1 hour, or until they are tender.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the beets. Just be careful not to cut yourself.
- To make the salad more flavorful, add a variety of fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or mint.
- If you are vegan or don't have feta cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as goat cheese or blue cheese.
