Spinach and Goat Cheese Salad with Beetroot Vinaigrette

Spinach and Goat Cheese Salad with Beetroot Vinaigrette

I tried this salad in Rehoboth Beach, DE and vowed to duplicate it! It is so addicting with the crunchy sugared walnuts and creamy goat cheese. The vinaigrette is to die for. I don’t even care for beets! Great for holiday dinners. A must try!
