Salads don't have to be green! This one combines the sweetness of roasted beets with the tartness of fresh orange.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound beets
  • 2-3 navel (seedless) oranges
  • 1 Tbsp chives, chopped (optional)
  • olive oil
  • balsamic vinegar
  • salt
  • pepper

Directions
  1. Scrub beets clean and trim off any greens. Rub with olive oil, if desired, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast in a 400°F oven until tender, approximately 1 hour. (Larger beets will take longer.)
  2. Cool beets until they can be handled.
  3. In the meantime, cut the peel from the oranges and section. Squeeze out juices from leftover membranes and reserve.
  4. Slip beets from their skins and into cubes of approximately 1/2 inch.
  5. Make approximately 1/4 cup vinagrette with the orange juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. (Suggested: half juice/vinegar, half oil.)
  6. Toss together beets, orange slices, and vinagrette. Just before serving, garnish with chives.

I really want to try this. It's making my mouth water! LOL


Roast beets are the absolute best...I always roast more than a recipe calls for because I eat them before they get to the "main dish". My beets are just up in my Missouri garden...I'll be fixing this one!


Wonderful, love beets and oranges, classic.


Wow, great combination I would have not thought of!
Thank you!


I loved this salad, it is so elegant and yummy. It is great with feta cheese on it too. Thanks!

I love this dish. Beet and oranges can't be a more classic combination. I have served almost the same salad with the addition of a crumbled goat cheese crumbled on top. Oh, I add a shallot or two to the dressing. This is just wonderful. Thanks for the reminder.
