We recently went on a trip to Flagstaff, Arizona and had this salad at a place downtown called Criollo. We both fell in love and I resolved to make a version of it when we got home. So here it is! The cumin vinaigrette is what makes this salad. Add some, taste and adjust to your liking. In total I used nearly a half tablespoon of cumin - I went really all out to get that strong flavor.

Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Toss the beets with olive oil. Lay evenly across the baking sheet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes or until beets are cooked through. Remove and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine the spring salad, corn, red onion, tomatoes, avocado, goat cheese, cilantro and cooled beets. Split between four salad bowls. Top with pepitas and Fritos. Drizzle with cumin vinaigrette. Enjoy!
