Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and roast the beets
Heat the oven to 425°F.
- Peel the beets; cut the beets in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons.
On a sheet pan, drizzle the beets with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and roast, stirring halfway through, until the beets are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Cook the eggs
Bring a small sauce pot of water to a boil and fill a small bowl with ice water. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for exactly 5 minutes for runny yolks and 6 minutes for soft-cooked. Transfer the eggs to the ice water to cool. Carefully peel the eggs. While the water is heating and the eggs are cooking, prepare the pita breads and almonds.
3
Prep and toast the pita breads and almonds
- Tear the pita breads into 1-inch pieces.
- Coarsely chop the almonds.
In a medium frying pan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons [3 TBL] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the pita breads and almonds and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pita is crisp and the almonds are lightly browned and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Sprinkle with the sumac, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. While the pita and almonds are cooking, prepare the salad.
4
Make the pomegranate vinaigrette and the salad
- Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
- Cut the eggs in half lengthwise.
In a large bowl, stir or whisk together the balsamic vinegar, pomegranate molasses, and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the spinach, onion, and beets and toss to combine; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the salad to individual bowls. Top with the pita bread, almonds, goat cheese, and eggs and serve.
