The lovely color of beets against the green is pretty to see, the contrast of texture — soft beet against the fresh leaves, creamy feta and the crunch of nuts make this salad delight for the palate. And the concentration of phytonutrients in these power foods are a big boost for the immune system.

Variations:

• Use arugula or baby kale instead of spinach
• Add avocado
• Add orange  (peel, cut away pith and segment the orange slices)
• Use pumpkin or sunflower seeds instead of nuts
