Ingredients
- 2 medium beets, roasted and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 cup mixed greens
vinaigrette of your choice
4 slices black bread or pumpernickel
2 ounces soft goat cheese
1/2 of an avocado, cut into thin slices
Directions
- First roast the beets [1]. After they cool, slice them horizontally into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
- In a skillet over low heat, toast the almonds for about 5 minutes, turning frequently. Set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, toss the mixed greens with the almonds and vinaigrette.
- In a toaster, toast each slice of bread until it's firm but not hard.
- To make each sandwich, spread one ounce of goat cheese on the bottom slice of bread, then top with 1/4 of the avocado slices. Place a handful of greens on top of the avocado, followed by 4 to 5 slices of beets.
- Place the second slice of toast on top of the beets, cut in half diagonally, and serve.
