Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

15 oz can of sliced beets
1/2 small sweet or white onion sliced thinly
2 c fresh spinach leaves
FOR THE DRESSING
3 Tbsp heaping tablespoons of mayonnaise
1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
6 pkg artificial sweetener (or regular sugar to your taste)

Steps:

1. Place drained beets in a bowl If they are whole, slice them up. Canned cubed beets work as well. You can also use fresh beets that have been cooked and cooled and sliced up.
2. Add the thinly sliced sweet onion to the bowl.
3. Add the fresh spinach to the bowl, and mix all ingredients together. If you do not like spinach, you can use romaine or any other lettuce instead.
4. Mix the dressing ingredients together in a separate bowl. I like to use artificial sweetener in salads because it is less grainy. Sweetener can be adjusted to your taste, but the salad should be slightly sweet.
5. Add the dressing to the beets, onion and spinach and mix well. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
