In this season 2 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 212), Amy makes a hearty fall salad out of spinach, beets, and crispy fried goat cheese. The base of the salad is spinach, beet greens, and mint. The beets are briefly roasted in the oven and sliced into thick wedges. Then, they are tossed in a simple vinaigrette made from orange juice, red wine vinegar, shallot, and olive oil. The star of the show is the puck of crispy fried goat cheese, reminiscent of something you would find at a French bistro. All together, they form a delicious fall salad that you’ll want to eat year-round.
