This is another recipe from the new Shortcuts -- Almost From Scratch Weight Watchers Cookbook. The green of the spinach, red of the beets and white and green of the cheese encrusted with pistachios makes this a really pretty salad.
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can diced beets, drained shopping list
- 1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice shopping list
- 4 tsp. EVOO shopping list
- 1 5-ounce bag baby spinach shopping list
- 3 tbsp. finely chopped shelled pistachios shopping list
- 1 3/4-ounce package reduced-fat spreadable swiss cheese wedges (8 wedges) (You know those little triangle cheeses in the foil packages that come in a wheel that we see alot at Christmas? Those ones.) shopping list
How to make it
- Combine the beets, lemon juice and oil in a large bowl. Add the spinach and toss to coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates and set aside.
- Spread the nuts on a sheet of wax paper. Working with one cheese wedge at a time, gently press the nuts onto the top and bottom.
- Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the cheese wedges, each with one of its nut sides down and cook until the nuts are browned, about 2 minutes on each side. Divide the cheese wedges among the salads and serve at once.
- Serving = 2 cheese wedges with 2 1/2 cups salad = 177 calories, 10 g. fat = 4 points.
- For a heartier salad, toss in 2 cups diced lean ham with the spinach in step 1, which will increase the per serving points value to 6.
