BEET ORANGE AND FENNEL SALAD



Beet Orange and Fennel Salad image

Beet Orange and Fennel Salad- an energizing vegan salad that can be repurposed into grain bowls for mid week lunches.

Provided by Sylvia Fountaine

Categories     Vegan Salad

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 - 1 ½ pounds cooked beets- steamed or roasted, peeled and cut into wedges
2 oranges ( feel free to sub 1 blood orange), peeled, cut into bite sized pieces
1 medium fennel bulb, cored and shaved thinly
⅛-¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
⅛ cup fresh dill or mint- chopped
⅛ cup fresh italian parsley - chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons honey ( or vegan alternative- agave, maple)
¼ tablespoon salt and pepper, more to taste

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.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium red beets, tops trimmed
2 medium golden beets, tops trimmed
3 blood oranges
1 medium navel orange (preferably Cara Cara)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced crosswise on a mandoline
1/4 red onion, very thinly sliced on a mandoline (about 1/3 cup)
Good-quality extra-virgin olive, pumpkin seed, or walnut oil (for drizzling)
Coarse sea salt, such as fleur de sel or Maldon sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro and/or chervil leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Wash beets, leaving some water on skins. Wrap individually in foil; place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until beets are tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, cut all peel and white pith from all oranges; discard. Working over a medium bowl, cut between membranes of 2 blood oranges to release segments into bowl; squeeze juice from membranes into bowl and discard membranes. Slice remaining blood orange and Cara Cara orange crosswise into thin rounds. Place sliced oranges in bowl with the segments. Add lemon juice and lime juice.
  • Peel cooled beets. Slice 2 beets crosswise into thin rounds. Cut remaining 2 beets into wedges. Strain citrus juices; reserve. Layer beets and oranges on plates, dividing evenly. Arrange fennel and onion over beets. Spoon reserved citrus juices over, then drizzle salad generously with oil. Season to taste with coarse sea salt and pepper. Let salad stand for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Garnish salad with cilantro leaves.

Fennel, Beet and Orange Salad With Cumin Vinaigrette image

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. The citrus vinaigrette adds a bright and flavorful touch, making this salad a perfect side dish or light lunch. With its vibrant colors and unique flavors, this salad is sure to impress your guests and become a favorite in your kitchen.
