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.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted beets. I always have a few beets leftover from my weekly CSA box, and this is a great way to use them up.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more spices to the vinaigrette.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less orange juice in the vinaigrette.
