Ingredients

Salad ingredients

  • 4 medium beets
  • Sea salt
  • 2 large oranges
  • ½ small fennel bulb cut into thin slices
  • 2 cups baby Arugula
  • 2 cups mixed salad greens

  • ½ cup walnuts chopped

Dressing Ingredients

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest

  • 2 Tablespoon fresh orange juice

  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest

  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil 

  • 4 Tablespoons date paste
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 1 clove garlic finely minced 

  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • While you're waiting for the oven to heat up, combine all the dressing ingredients in a glass bowl and whisk together until well incorporated. Set aside.
  • Wash and dry beets. Wrap in aluminum foil, sprinkling each beet generously with salt.
  • Place beets on a rimmed baking sheet making sure foil ends are facing up so juices don't drip out too much. 
  • Roast beets in preheated oven for about an hour, or until tender. 
  • Remove the beets from the oven let cool until they are easy to handle. Run them under cold water and they will peel easily.
  • Cut beets into slices and strips.
  • Add Arugula and mixed field greens in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Add vinaigrette to taste and mix until greens are lightly covered with the dressing. 
  • Place salad on a chilled serving platter and top with sliced roasted beets, orange slices, sliced fennel, and walnuts.
  • Add a little of the beet strips and a couple of walnuts on top for a pretty presentation.
  • Optional: The fennel fronds also make a nice garnish and are really tender and flavorful.
