1 (11-ounce) can Mandarin oranges, drained with 2 tablespoons liquid from can reserved
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 cups sliced jarred or canned beets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size, as they tend to be more tender and flavorful. Avoid beets that have any blemishes or bruises.

Toss the beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and wrap them in foil. Roast the beets for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits: This salad is a great way to use up leftover citrus fruits. You can use any combination of oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes. Just be sure to adjust the amount of honey or sugar depending on the sweetness of the citrus fruits.
  • Add some crunch: To add some crunch to the salad, you can add chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons. Walnuts, pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds are all great options.
  • Make it a main course: This salad can be easily turned into a main course by adding some grilled or roasted chicken, fish, or tofu. You can also add some quinoa or rice to make it a more filling meal.
