Spinach salad with beets, goat cheese, pine nuts, grapefruit

 Small amounts of beets go great with green salads.    In fact, seems like almost all fine dining restaurants these days have a green salad with beets on the menu.

This salad combines different flavors which play off one another: tart and sweet, earthy and peppery, fresh and cooked.

    This dish remind me of dish make of raw fish and vegetable of the Easter. But of course, without the raw fish. There's a balance between color and taste for sure. Absolutely love it.

    julia, im a little late to this wonderful party( your web site) it's so tempting on many levels--beautiful pictures, easy recipes with such appeal---etc,etc--My only concern
    is my inability to print the recipes that I love --I was able to print SUNDRIED TOMATO AND MUSHROOM PASTA but unfortunately, not successful in printing
    creamy mushroom pasta w/carmelized onions along with a few others--They didnt say" print " but I tried anyway and then saw 26 of 26 pages coming out!! I had to stop the printer and I'm sure I will be sorry ! there were several recipes I want to try! A wonderful website that I will revisit VERY often!
