Dad's Go-To Beet Salad

Ingredients 0/12

Step 1

Put the beets in a big pot and covering them with water. Bring it to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and let them simmer until you can easily poke them with a fork—this usually takes about an hour. Once they're tender, drain the water and let the beets cool enough so you can handle them without burning your fingers. Peel off the skins, chop the beets into cubes, and pop them in the fridge for about 15 minutes to chill.

Step 2

While the beets are cooling, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and a little garlic salt in a large bowl until it’s nice and smooth. Add the chilled beets along with the tomatoes, onion, avocado, and feta cheese to the bowl, then give everything a gentle toss to combine. Finally, throw in the spinach, toss again, and your salad is ready to enjoy!
