Ingredients:

Serving

1 15- oz can diced beets, drained
1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
4 tsp. evoo
1 5- oz bag baby spinach
3 tbsp. finely chopped shelled pistachios
1 3/4- oz package reduced-fat spreadable swiss cheese wedges (8 wedges) (you know those little triangle cheeses in the foil packages that come in a wheel that we see alot at christmas those ones.)

Directions:

Combine the beets, lemon juice and oil in a large bowl. Add the spinach and toss to coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates and set aside.
Spread the nuts on a sheet of wax paper. Working with one cheese wedge at a time, gently press the nuts onto the top and bottom.
Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the cheese wedges, each with one of its nut sides down and cook until the nuts are browned, about 2 minutes on each side. Divide the cheese wedges among the salads and serve at once.
Serving = 2 cheese wedges with 2 1/2 cups salad = 177 calories, 10 g. fat = 4 points.
For a heartier salad, toss in 2 cups diced lean ham with the spinach in step 1, which will increase the per serving points value to 6.
