Categories     Oranges

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large beets, washed but not peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
4 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 oranges, preferably navel, peeled and separated into segments (can sub blood oranges or tangerines)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped mint leaf
3 teaspoons minced shallots
1 cup french feta cheese (can sub blue cheese or goat cheese) or 1 cup Greek feta cheese, crumbled into large pieces (can sub blue cheese or goat cheese)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a bowl, toss the beets with the olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Put the beets on a roasting pan and cover them with foil. Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (They are done when a sharp, thin-bladed knife can easily pierce through to their center.) Remove the pan from the oven, remove the beets from the pan and set them aside to cool.
  • While the beets are roasting, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and cut them into 1/2-inch dice. Put them in a bowl with 1 cup of the orange segments, the mint and the shallots. Add the vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper and toss gently.
  • Transfer the salad to a platter. Arrange the cheese and the remaining orange sections on top. Serve.

BEET, MANDARIN ORANGE AND SPINACH SALAD



Beet, Mandarin Orange and Spinach Salad image

People seem to either hate or love beets -- I would guess you like them because you have chosen this recipe to look at. (The first recipe calls for canned beets; sometimes I buy fresh beets and cook them -- this variation is after the canned beet recipe.) When using the fresh beet recipe, I make the beets ahead of time to allow for cooling in the fridge and then just cut them up when assembling the salad.
