You can whip up this salad dinner in 5 minutes. I tasted a similar one at a local restaurant and was delighted to find a delicious, filling, light vegetarian supper dish. I decided to re-create it at home.
Beets add an earthy flavor and color to the salad. You don’t have to cook raw beets. Cooked, ready-to-eat beets are available in the produce section. Or you can find frozen spiral cut beets in the market.
Helpful Hints:
— You can use any type of nuts such as walnuts, almonds or cashews instead of pecans.
— You can use any type of croutons.
