Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium beets, trimmed and scrubbed
Olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 head red leaf lettuce, rinsed, dried, and torn into pieces
2 navel oranges
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed in a mortar and pestle
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup walnut oil

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Lay the beets on one half of a large piece of aluminum foil. Sprinkle with olive oil and season with salt. Fold the foil in half to make a packet and roll the edges to seal. Lay on a baking sheet and roast until tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool. Peel the beets and slice into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
  • 2. Keep the oven at 350°F; toast the walnuts on a baking sheet for a few minutes, 5 to 7, until they smell good. Remove the nuts and let them cool while you wash and dry the lettuce and tear it into a salad bowl.
  • 3. Zest one orange-you need 1 teaspoon grated zest. Using a very sharp knife, cut the ends from the oranges, slicing just deep enough to expose the flesh. Cut off the remaining peel and pith. Then, working over a bowl, remove the segments, cutting between the membrane. Place the segments in a strainer to drain off excess juice.
  • 4. Whisk together the dressing ingredients-the shallot, fennel seeds, and lemon juice-in a small bowl, adding the oil last, whisking as you pour it in so the dressing emulsifies a bit. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • 5. Toss the nuts, beets, oranges, and the dressing with the salad, adjust the seasoning, and serve immediately.
  • Tips and Techniques
  • Teresa: "The oranges and beets are best tossed in at the last minute, when you dress the salad to serve it, lest the o‐juice and beety color run amok."
  • About the Cook
  • Teresa Parker is an expert on Catalonia and its cuisine, and runs culinary tours in Spain. She's a good friend of Merrill's and splits her time between New York City and Wellfleet, Massachusetts.
