Spinach, Beets and Feta Salad
Description
A bed of fresh, tender baby spinach provides a mild, slightly sweet base, packed with iron and vitamins. Roasted butternut squash adds a caramelized sweetness and creamy texture, while roasted beets contribute an earthy depth and striking colour. Crumbled feta cheese offers a salty, tangy contrast, tying the flavours together beautifully. Fresh dill adds earthy notes, while a drizzle of citrus-garlic dressing enhances all the flavours.
