This Power Green Salad with Roasted Beets, Oranges, Avocado and Walnuts is so yummy, and healthy!  With sweet juicy oranges, tender roasted beets, creamy avocado, crunchy walnuts and fresh greens tossed in a tangy vinaigrette, what’s not to love?

What makes this salad so healthy?

• The power greens are a combination of baby kale, baby chard and baby spinach. They’re called power greens because they are packed with antioxidant (cancer fighting) rich nutrients.
• The roasted beets are also a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals. They are low in calories, high in vitamins, can help regulate blood pressure, reduce inflammation and more.
• Avocados are loaded with heart healthy fats, fiber, vitamins and minerals. And contain more potassium than a banana!
• Walnuts are also a great source of heart healthy fats, fiber, vitamins and minerals. They are also the only nut to contain significant amounts of ALA, an omega-3 fatty acid that is considered to be beneficial for heart health and reducing inflammation.
• And last, but certainly not least, Oranges. These babies are loaded with fiber, vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals to keep you energized throughout your day.

How to make power green salad with roasted beets:

• Wash the beets thoroughly and cut off the ends.
• Rub the whole beets with olive oil and place on a foil lined pan.
• Roast the beets in a 350 degree F oven for about 45 minutes until tender but firm. Test by poking with the end of a pairing knife.
• Let beets cool thoroughly before peeling. Once beets are cooled, peel off the skin with a pairing knife and then cut into slices. Set aside.
• While the beets are cooking, make the shallot vinaigrette. Place all ingredients for vinaigrette in a small bowl and whisk together to combine.
• Slice oranges and avocado. Rough chop the walnuts

To assemble salad:

• Then decoratively arrange avocado, oranges and beets on top of the greens. Sprinkle walnuts on top
• Stir dressing well and drizzle desired amount over salad or serve on the side

Cheers to healthy eating! Enjoy!
