Each Tuesday I will share an easy, nutritious recipe so you can join me in the home-cooked self-care.  

It is the last week of school and I’m feeling quite rushed for time. This need for speed has shown up in all areas of my life and especially in my kitchen. I’ve still be seeking healthy options, but during these last couple weeks the need for speed has trumped all.

I’ve eaten today’s recipe a couple of times over the last weeks and have forgotten to take photos each time. A bit preoccupied I guess.

You’ll need to picture dark green leaves, deep purple slices and bright white creamy bits with chopped nuts.

Today’s recipe is more of an assembly, rather than a cooking recipe. Thank goodness for Trader Joe’s and their inexpensive healthy ingredients.

Beet, Spinach, Goat Cheese Salad

Serves 2

1 packet of TJ’s ready to eat beets rinsed and sliced (an egg slicer makes this job so easy)

half bag of ready to eat baby spinach (rinse and dry one more time just to be sure)

a crumble of soft goat cheese

a handful of chopped nuts {pecans are my favorite}

a drizzle of olive oil

a splash of balsamic vinegar

salt and pepper to taste.

  Assemble on the plates.
