Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds golden beets, trimmed and rinsed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon whole-grain or Dijon mustard
- 1 ounce spinach leaves or baby spinach, sliced (about 1 cup)
- 3 tablespoons toasted walnuts
- 1 ounce blue cheese, crumbled (1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F.

Let the beets cool to room temperature.
- Toss the beets with the rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add the olive oil and mustard and toss with the spinach. Garnish with the toasted walnuts and crumbled blue cheese.
- Make Ahead: You can roast the beets up to 3 days in advance; toss them just before serving.
