Steps:
- Use a mandoline or very sharp knife to shave the carrots lengthwise into ribbons. Cut off the stalks and fronds from the fennel bulbs if still attached. Shave the fennel lengthwise like the carrots.
- Put the carrots and fennel in a bowl and toss with the olive oil, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Let stand for 20 minutes to soften.
- Add the red onion. Gently mix in watercress and tangerines. Season with salt and pepper, toss well, taste, and add more vinegar if needed. Serve immediately.
- Michael's Notes: If your tangerines are small, you can leave the sections intact. If the tangerines are large, or if you want to use oranges, you should remove each citrus section from its membrane. To do so, cut a slice off both ends of each fruit so it will stand upright. Stand each fruit on a cutting surface and, using a sharp knife, remove all the peel and white pith by slicing from top to bottom all the way around the fruit, following its contours. Cut the sections away from their membranes.

Steps:
- Scrub the beets well and cook them whole in plenty of hot water for about 20 minutes, or, until fork-tender. Add the stems and the leaves during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking. Remove the stems and leaves and reserve them for another recipe (see note, below) and cut the beets into small wedges.
- Prepare the rest of the salad ingredients. Shred the carrots, crumble the goat cheese and toast some hazelnuts. Set them all aside.
- Pour the olive oil and the rest of the ingredients for the dressing into a small jar with a lid. Shake the jar well until everything is thoroughly emulsified.
- Take a deep salad bowl and spread the arugula on the bottom and sides, then top with some of the tangerine discs. Top off with more arugula. Arrange the beets in the center of the salad and the shredded carrots around the beets. Place a few more tangerine discs in the center and then crumble the goat cheese all over the salad. Lastly, sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the entire salad.
- Shake the salad dressing one more time and drizzle it over the salad. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Place the bowl in the middle of the table and have everyone help themselves, perhaps with some more dressing on the side.

Steps:
- Make the salad: Quarter fennel bulb lengthwise, and cut out core. Very thinly slice fennel lengthwise into strips using a mandoline or sharp knife. Cover with a damp paper towel in a glass dish.
- Grate carrots, then beets, on the large holes of a box grater. Arrange side by side with fennel. Keep covered with damp paper towel, and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the vinaigrette: Toast fennel seeds in a small skillet over medium-high heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl, and add orange juice, vinegar, lemon juice, shallot, and 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually whisk in oil.
- Toss fennel, beets, and carrots with vinaigrette in a large bowl. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and vibrant ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, select firm, brightly colored beets and carrots. Look for tangerines that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin.
- Use a variety of textures: This salad combines crunchy carrots and beets with soft, juicy tangerines. Adding other crunchy elements like nuts or seeds can add even more texture and interest.
- Don't overcook the beets: Beets should be tender but still have a bit of bite to them. Overcooking can make them mushy and bland.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. This helps the flavors to come together and the salad to be more refreshing.
Conclusion:
This tangerine, beet, and carrot salad is a delicious and nutritious way to brighten up your winter meals. The sweet and tangy dressing complements the earthy flavors of the beets and carrots, and the crunchy pecans add a nice textural contrast.
