  3. 1 to 2 teaspoons onion powder
  4. Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  5. 4 cooked chicken breast halves, cut into 2-inch pieces
  6. 2 cups sliced beets (jarred or canned)
  7. 1/4 cup freshly chopped scallions
  8. 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
  9. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  10. 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  11. 4 Bibb lettuce leaves
  12. 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine chicken, beets and scallions. Toss to combine, allowing beets to color chicken. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil and mustard. Pour mixture over chicken mixture and toss to combine. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.

Delicious and totally Halloween-appropriate! I hand-cut out ghosts with the tortillas and they were very cute. The dressing is simple get surprisingly tasty. Plus I love beets so this salad was quite appealing to me. Also very healthy!

I had goat cheese on hand so decided to try this recipe. I also added dried cranberry’s and slivered almonds. Added juice from a squeezed whole orange and the zest of the orange to the dressing.Turned out very flavourful and delicious!
