The secret to crispy croutons is tearing the bread -- the nooks and crannies absorb more olive oil than evenly sliced pieces. (Of course, the real challenge is not devouring the whole batch when they're warm and fresh out of the oven.)

Ingredients

1 lb. beets
2 slice rustic bread
1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp. orange juice
2 avocados
2 navel oranges
2 c. spinach
1 tbsp. sunflower seeds

Instructions

Meanwhile, toss the bread pieces with 2 tablespoons of oil, season with salt and pepper, and toast until golden, about 6 minutes.
Whisk the vinegar, orange juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the beets, avocados, oranges, spinach, and croutons. Season with salt and pepper and top with sunflower seeds. Looking for more healthy recipes? Check out our collections of low-fat recipes, healthy recipes for the whole day, and vegan recipes.
