Easy Dinner Idea.

I've added this simple salad as a staple to my weeknight dinner routine and thought I should share! It's also a great meal to make when the weather is steamy since you don't need an oven. 

Beet, Blue and Almond Salad



Recipe Yields 1 Serving  (WW PointsPlus® value 8)

4 Cups Organic Romaine/Spinach/Herb blend salad mix
1/4 Cup Sliced beets (fresh or canned will do), chopped
2 TBSP chopped Raw Almonds
2 TBSP Blue Cheese
2 TBSP Newman's Own Lite Honey Mustard Dressing
Salt and Pepper to taste

Place lettuce in a shallow bowl or plate and top with chopped beets, almonds and blue cheese. Drizzle with salad dressing and add salt and fresh cracked black pepper, if desired. 

On an entertaining note, I suggest omitting the lettuce blend. Place the beets, almonds and cheese in endive lettuce cups and drizzle with dressing and chopped parsley. Would make a great addition to a brunch menu or any buffet spread!

Bon Appétit!
