Spinach, Beet, and Goat Cheese Salad

This salad might seem pretty basic and traditional: toss fresh baby spinach leaves, chopped up cooked beets, and crumbled goat cheese in a big bowl - I added some toasted pine nuts for crunch but more traditional is walnut pieces if you like nuts. The killer part of this salad is the honey-mustard vinaigrette recipe - SO good!

1 T. balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 t. honey
1 1/2 t. Dijon mustard
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/4 cup olive oil

Whisk the first 5 ingredients in a small bowl then slowly whisk in oil until blended.

PS: if you want a different spinach salad with hard boiled eggs, bacon, and almonds try my sissy's delish version, click here for that post.
