Roasted Beet Salad W Orange Amp Beet Greens Recipe

Roasted Beet Salad w Orange amp Beet Greens

From ashleythm 15 years ago

I love beets, this is more like a guide line than anything. Cheese, lemon, candied nuts, all can be added. The possibilities are endless.

6 medium beets with beet greens attached ( combination of red and yellow works great too! Check with your local farmer.) shopping list
2 large oranges (segments cut out and reserved) shopping list
1 small sweet onion, cut through root end into thin wedges shopping list
1/3 cup red wine vinegar shopping list
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil shopping list
2 garlic cloves, minced shopping list
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel shopping list
salt to taste shopping list

Preheat oven to 300
Cut beet greens from beets, and wash both under cold water.
Place beets in a bowl, lightly oil and salt them, toss to coat.
In a deep baking dish, place beets inside, pour enough water in the dish so that it comes up about 1/4 of the beet.
Cover tightly with foil, and bake for 45 min, or until tender with a knife.
Cook beet greens in large saucepan of salted boiling water just until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Cool. Squeeze greens to remove excess moisture.
Once beets are done, let cool, and remove the skin with a cloth rag, and slice into quarters.
Combine beet greens, quartered beets, orange segments, and onion in large bowl.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, evoo, garlic, and grated orange peel.
Dress beets with dressing, and serve

So good! I've prepared this three times already. The most successful was using mandarin oranges, without the beet greens.
