Instructions
Cut root ends off of beets and slice them in half. Place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch to them. Let the beets cool slightly, then peel and chop.
Simmer wheat berries in simmering water until they are tender, about 45 minutes. Then drain wheat berries.
For dressing, whisk together ingredients until combined.
Make salad by topping baby spinach with chopped roasted beets, walnuts, apples, cooked wheat berries, crumbled goat cheese, and serve the dressing on the side.
