Ingredients

Beets

1.5 lb beets cooked, peeled, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey

Salad ingredients

5 oz baby spinach
2 cups mandarin oranges segments (3 mandarin oranges peeled and segmented)
⅓ cup red onions sliced
⅓ cup pine nuts toasted
4 oz feta cheese crumbled

Salad dressing

⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

Pre-cook the beets 1 to 3 days in advance. See notes below on how to roast or boil the beets.
In a small bowl, mix together sliced cooked beets with olive oil and honey. Add an extra tablespoon of honey if desired.
Mix all salad dressing ingredients in a mason jar, whisk with a fork, or shake vigorously.
Arrange salad in individual bowls for presentation. Add spinach, topped with mandarin oranges, pine nuts, and sliced red onion. Drizzle with dressing. Toss lightly and top with honey-coated beets and crumbled feta cheese. Season with black pepper.
Alternatively, combine salad ingredients (except beets and feta) in a large bowl, add dressing, and toss. Top with honey-coated beets and feta, then serve.

Notes

Beets can be roasted or boiled based on your preference.
