Categories     Citrus

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

24 baby orange beets
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
8 tangerines
4 small shallots, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°. Put the beets in a roasting pan, cover with foil and bake them for about 1 hour, until they are tender. When they are cool enough to handle, peel and quarter the beets.
  • In a pie plate, toss the pine nuts with 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil and toast them in the oven for about 3 minutes, until the pine nuts are golden brown.
  • Using a sharp knife, peel the tangerines. Working over a medium bowl, slice in between the membranes to release the tangerine sections. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into a small bowl; you should have 1/2 cup.
  • In another small bowl, toss the sliced shallots and raspberry vinegar with a pinch of salt and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the 1/2 cup of tangerine juice and the remaining 1/4 cup of vegetable oil and season the dressing with salt.
  • Arrange the beets and tangerine sections on plates and drizzle with the dressing. Top with the toasted pine nuts and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe beets. If you can't find fresh beets, you can use canned beets, but be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
  • To save time, you can roast the beets in advance. Once they are cool, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If you don't have a citrus zester, you can use a fine grater to remove the zest from the oranges and tangerines.
  • To make the salad dressing, you can use either olive oil or vinegar. If you use olive oil, be sure to use a good-quality oil.
  • The salad can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you are serving it later, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.
