  • Directions

    Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

    Place beets in a large bowl; drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

    Lay out 2 large squares of aluminum foil on a work surface, and place 3 beets onto the center of each sheet. Fold foil into packets, sealing beets inside. Place the packets into a baking dish.

    Bake in the preheated oven and roast until tender when pierced with a fork, 1 to 1 ½ hours. Unwrap and let cool until easy to handle; peel and slice.

    Arrange spinach leaves on a serving platter; sprinkle pieces of tomato and avocado over spinach and top with chopped red onion. Top with warm sliced beets and sprinkle with feta cheese.

    Whisk together balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, and Dijon mustard until smooth.

    Drizzle over salad before serving.



    Recipe Tip

    Beets can be roasted up to 2 days in advance; store peeled and sliced beets in the refrigerator until ready to assemble salad.
