This refreshing salad has a delicious blend of flavors and textures!

Ingredients
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), plus more for drizzling
4 small red beets, trimmed
1/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
1 Gala apple, chopped
1/2 cup red seedless grapes, halved
2 small ribs celery
1/2 small red onion, chopped
1/4 cup walnut pieces, lightly toasted
 4 red leaf lettuce leaves
 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded

Preparation
Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
Drizzle a little EVOO over the beets and wrap in foil. Ask a grown-up helper (GH) to roast the beets until tender, 35-40 minutes. Let cool in the foil, then rub off the skins with a paper towel (they'll come off like magic!). Ask your GH to chop the beets.
In a large bowl, combine the cranberry sauce and vinegar. Whisk in 1/4 cup EVOO and season the dressing with salt and pepper. Add the beets, apple, grapes, celery, red onion and walnuts. Toss the salad until everything is red!
