How to Make Beet Avocado And Pink Grapefruit Salad With Sherry Dressing

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub 1 pound of beets. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
Roast beets for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Check at 45 minutes.
Remove beets from oven and let cool completely. Once cool, peel and dice into ¾-inch pieces.
While beets are roasting, peel and segment 2 pink grapefruits, removing all white pith. Reserve 2 tablespoons of grapefruit juice.
Cut grapefruit segments into ¾-inch pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup sherry vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and the reserved 2 tablespoons of grapefruit juice.
Slowly whisk in ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil until emulsified.
Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, combine 5 ounces baby spinach or mixed greens with ¾ cup of the sherry vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add 1 ripe avocado, diced into ¾-inch pieces, to the salad.
Divide salad among 10 plates.
Top each salad with the roasted beets, grapefruit segments, and ¼ cup pomegranate seeds.
Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and serve immediately.
