For Dijon Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

    Directions

    This vibrant spinach salad bursts with flavor from roasted beets, crispy bacon, tangy blue cheese, toasted hazelnuts, and red onions, all tied together with a zesty Dijon vinaigrette salad dressing.

    Step1

    Cook the bacon until crisp, then chop it into bite-sized pieces and set aside to cool.

    Step2

    Start by peeling and dicing your beets. To preserve their vibrant colors, boil red and golden beets in separate pots—this prevents the hues from bleeding into one another. Alternatively, you can roast them in the oven at 400 degrees for a deeper flavor. Cook until tender, then let them cool completely before adding to your salad.

    Step3

    Make the dressing by combining the salad dressing ingredients in a mason jar and giving it a good shake, shake, shake.

    Step4

    Spread baby spinach on a platter and drizzle it lightly with one or two tablespoons of dressing.

    Step5

    Next, layer on beets, bacon, toasted hazelnuts, and slivers of red onion. Drizzle with more dressing and finish with a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles. Enjoy!
