Warm beet & spinach salad
Indulge in a delectable warm beet and spinach salad bursting with flavor and nutrients. A perfect balance of earthy beets and leafy greens drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette.
Ingredients:
- 8 cups baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 plum tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons sliced Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups steamed beet wedges, or slices, 1/2-1 inch thick (see Tip)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Instructions:
- Add the spinach into a spacious bowl.
- Warm up the oil in a large nonstick pan on medium heat. Include the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until it softens slightly, which should take around 2 minutes. Introduce the tomatoes, olives, parsley, and garlic. Sauté and stir the mixture until the tomatoes start to disintegrate, approximately 3 minutes. Incorporate the beets, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Continue to stir and cook the ingredients until the beets are warmed up, around 1 minute more. Merge the beet combination with the spinach and mix well. Present the dish while it's still warm.
