Steps:
- Place the cooked cut beets, oranges and fennel in a medium bowl. Add fresh herbs.
- Add dressing ingredients, and toss. ( It helps to warm the honey first if using- I just place the jar of honey in a bowl of hot water to loosen it.) Alternatively, you could whisk the dressing ingredients separately in a small bowl, then toss with the salad.
- Taste for salt and acid. Add more salt and vinegar to taste.

FENNEL, BEET AND ORANGE SALAD WITH CUMIN VINAIGRETTE
One of the things I love best about this refreshing salad is that it doesn't wilt, making it a a great choice for a potluck or a buffet. There's a nice contrast of textures going on, with the crunchy fennel, soft beets and juicy oranges. The dish has Moroccan overtones, with the combination of oranges and beets, and the cumin in the dressing.

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Beets: Select young, tender beets with smooth skin and vibrant colors. Avoid beets that are too large or have blemishes.
- Preparing the Beets: To roast the beets, trim the tops and tails, leaving about 1 inch of the stem intact. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and wrap each beet tightly in aluminum foil. Roast at 400°F for 45-60 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Slicing the Beets: Once the beets are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling. Use a sharp knife to slice the beets into thin wedges or rounds, depending on your preference.
- Selecting Blood Oranges: Choose blood oranges that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color. Avoid oranges with blemishes or soft spots.
- Preparing the Blood Oranges: To segment the blood oranges, use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the orange. Score the orange lengthwise, then use your hands to peel away the segments. Remove any remaining pith or seeds.
- Shaving the Fennel: Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to shave the fennel into thin slices. Discard the tough outer layer of the fennel.
- Assembling the Salad: Arrange the roasted beets, blood orange segments, shaved fennel, and goat cheese on a serving platter. Drizzle with a citrus vinaigrette and sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
This mixed baby beet salad is a delightful combination of sweet, earthy beets, tangy blood oranges, refreshing fennel, and creamy goat cheese.
