BEET, MANDARIN ORANGE AND SPINACH SALAD
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.

Tips:
- Choose the best beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid beets that are large, as they may be woody.
- Roast the beets: Roasting the beets intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast the beets, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the beets into 1-inch pieces and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the beets in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Use fresh mandarin oranges: Fresh mandarin oranges are essential for this recipe. Avoid using canned or jarred mandarin oranges, as they will not have the same flavor or texture.
- Make the vinaigrette ahead of time: The vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
- Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The beets will start to lose their color and flavor if they are stored for too long.
Conclusion:
This beet and mandarin orange salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted beets are sweet and earthy, the mandarin oranges are tangy and juicy, and the vinaigrette is light and refreshing.
