Spinach Salad with Creamy Beet Dressing - 11g Carbs
From: Original unknown
Servings: 2
1/2 cup finely chopped, drained canned beets, or vacuum-packed cooked beets (see note)
1 1/2 tsp Dijon-style mustard
1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
4 Tbsp fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, divided
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 oz French green beans
3 cups baby spinach
2 medium endives, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices, about 1 cup
2 Tbsp sweet onion, cut in very thin crescents
1 small roasted or cooked beet
For dressing, place beets, mustard, vinegar and 2 tablespoons of broth in blender and whirl until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of blender as needed.
With the motor running, pour in remaining broth, then oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
Makes 3/4 cup thick dressing. Dressing can be made ahead and refrigerated, tightly covered, for 24 hours. If necessary, before using, thin chilled dressing with additional broth and adjust the seasoning.
Cook green beans in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and plunge immediately into bowl of cold water. When beans are cool, drain well and set aside.
In mixing bowl, combine spinach and endive, then divide between 2 salad plates or wide, shallow bowls. Sprinkle onions over greens, then add green beans.
Cut beet crosswise into thin slices. Cut each slice into matchsticks and sprinkle over salad. Drizzle on 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Serve immediately.
Note: When buying beets in a can or jar, be sure they are not pickled.
