Ingredients

1 15-ounce can diced beets, drained

1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice

4 tsp. EVOO

1 5-ounce bag baby spinach

3 tbsp. finely chopped shelled pistachios

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.)

Directions

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.

This sounds good, except for the beets! I usually have never met a food I didn't like. However, the little kid in me has never allowed me to get over the taste of beets!
But I do like spinach salads. Do you have more spinach salad recipes?

I'm kind of with Dynie on the beets, had to eat them as a kid (pickled ones) so I would probably leave them out. But otherwise sounds delicious!
