Spiralized Roasted Beet Salad with Quince Vinaigrette

Great salad for lunch or dinner! Spiralizing the beets makes for a quicker cooking time. Use any flavored vinegar of your choice - dark berry or fig vinegar make great options!

    • 2 beets, peeled

    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

    • ¼ cup olive oil

    • 3 tablespoons quince vinegar, or more to taste

    5. Whisk olive oil, quince vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl to make dressing.

    6. Divide spring salad mix between 2 plates. Top with cooled beet spirals. Scatter blue cheese, chopped walnuts, and chives over the beets. Drizzle dressing on top.
