1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
2 1/4 pounds assorted beets with greens (such as Chioggia, white, golden, and red; 1 1/2 pounds if already trimmed)
1/4 small red onion

  • Trim beets, leaving 1 inch of stems attached, then peel.
