Ingredients

  • 2 medium Ontario Beets, unpeeled and scrubbed
  • 2 slices Ontario Bacon
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) Ontario Maple Syrup

Instructions

Individually wrap each beet in double layer of foil. Roast on baking sheet in 425°F (220°C) oven until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool enough to handle; peel and cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick wedges.

Meanwhile, cook bacon in skillet over medium heat until crisp. Let cool on paper towel; crumble.

Whisk together oil, vinegar, maple syrup, horseradish, salt and pepper. Place spinach in large bowl; toss with bacon, beets and apple. Toss with dressing. Serve sprinkled with crumbled goat cheese.
