Description

A bright salad filled with sweet dates and golden raisins, crunchy hazelnuts and toasted pita. Sumac and shichimi togarashi give the salad an extra flavor boost!

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Medium Golden Beets, Peeled And Diced To 1/2-inch Cubes
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
  • ⅓ whole Medium Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • 3 Tablespoons Golden Raisins
  • 5 whole Large Medjool Dates, Quartered
  • 2 Tablespoons While Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt
  • 1-½ whole Large Pitas
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Buttery Spread
  • ½ cups Hazelnuts
  • 2 teaspoons Sumac
  • ½ teaspoons Japanese Seven-spice (shichimi Togarashi)
  • 6 cups Baby Spinach
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C). Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. Toss the cubed beets with 1/3 of the olive oil and spread them onto the baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the beets are easily pierced with a fork.
2. In a small bowl, stir the red onions, raisins, dates, vinegar, and a pinch of salt together. Let it stand for 20 minutes. If there’s any leftover vinegar after it’s been marinated, drain it away.
3. Tear apart the pita into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces.
4. In a large pan, heat the buttery spread and another 1/3 of the olive oil over medium-low heat. When the butter has melted, add the pita and nuts and stir well. Keep stirring it for about 4 to 6 minutes, or until the pita turns golden brown. Remove the pan from heat, and sprinkle on the sumac and shichimi togarashi, and mix well. Use double the listed amount of the shichimi togarashi if you want more heat in your salad.
5. In a large bowl, toss the spinach with the onion mixture, beets, pita, nuts, remaining 1/3 of the olive oil and lemon juice. I didn’t need to add any more salt, but adjust it to your taste.
6. Serve immediately.
