Ingredients

  • 2 packages Melissa’s Peeled Baby Red Beets cut into bite size pieces
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 10.5 ounce package Goat Cheese cubed
  • 3/4 cup Italian Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 bunches Watercress coarse stems removed washed and dried
  • 2 6 ounce packages Organic Spinach
  • Red Onion sliced very thin

Directions

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Toss the beets in the olive oil and place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast until heated through and beginning to char. Remove from the oven and let cool.

In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Coat the goat cheese with this mixture and place on a pan-sprayed baking sheet. Make sure cheese in set in a single layer and place under the broiler. Heat until bread crumbs become lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.

In a bowl, toss together the watercress, red onion and the dressing. Arrange on 8 serving plates and top with the beets and goat cheese. If desired, add more dressing and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Note:

If you don't like goat cheese, use mozzarella.
