Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°. Rinse beets and place on foil. Wrap beets in foil and seal package shut. Bake until beets are tender, about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the beets. Remove from oven, open foil carefully, and let cool completely.
Step 2
With a knife, trim the ends of the roasted beets. Wrap a paper towel around a beet, and rub the beet in the paper towel until the skin comes off. Continue with the remaining beets. Slice beets into wedges.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss beets with oil, vinegar, chives, onions and black pepper. Add spinach, orange segments and almonds, and toss.
