A Winter Salad...

The colors and flavors in this salad are such a delight. Fresh pink grapefruit, roasted beets, and granny smith apples tossed in goat cheese, arugula, and toasted sunflower seeds. The juice from the grapefruit and the creaminess of the goat cheese create a dreamy dressing so all you need is a little salt and pepper and this salad dresses itself. It's rich, bright, and satisfying...it's truly the simple dishes that can be the most enjoyable.A Winter SaladIngredients:Serves 24 organic beets (I used two red and two orange)1 organic grapefruit, peeled + sliced (reserve residual juice)1 organic granny smith apple, sliced whole2 tablespoons organic goat cheese, freshly crumbled1 cup organic arugula1/4 cup organic sunflower seeds, toastedDirections:First, roast the beets.
