Spinach Salad with Beets, Bacon, Walnuts and Goat Cheese

we're big salad eaters in our house but an ordinary plate of lettuce

tomatoes won't do. we like our salads complex and

made me a much better salad maker over the years

that salads mustn't be simple. many times during the first year we

dressings but i find those too oily so i substituted a creamy

vinaigrette. i'm not sure when the original recipe appeared

classic to suit our tastes so this

salad. enjoy

baby spinach

beet

walnuts

onion

bacon

goat cheese

olive oil

red wine vinegar

mayonnaise

sugar

salt & pepper

hours until a knife can go through easily. cool

thinly. while the beet is cooking

pan on the stove top. this will only take a couple of minutes so

stir them and be careful that they don't burn. set aside to cool

in a bowl

salad. place the spinach on a plate followed by the onion and the

beets. add the bacon

saying

dated

else we put in it. and in my attempts to please him

much better salads could be

all that being said

invention. but their complex natures lend themselves to the way we

like to eat. you'll often see these salads served
