Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large beets, peeled and green tops removed
Coarse salt
3 seedless oranges
5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup peanut oil, preferably unrefined
1 medium jicama, brown skin and exterior layer removed, cut into 4-by-2-inch slices
4 cups wild baby arugula
2/3 cup roasted, salted peanuts
1 piece sugar cane (3 to 4 inches), peeled and cut lengthwise into slivers

Steps:

  • Fill a small saucepan with water. Bring to a boil and add salt. When water returns to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer. Add beets and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool. Cut beets into 4-by-2-inch slices; place in a large bowl.
  • Using a zester or vegetable peeler, zest the rind of one of the oranges. Finely chop and add to another large bowl along with the lime juice, orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, sugar, and oil. Mix well and pour over beets; let stand 1 hour.
  • Remove peel and pith from the oranges using a sharp paring knife. Carefully cut between membranes to remove segments; set aside.
  • Add jicama and orange segments to the beet mixture and season with salt. Place arugula on a serving platter and place beet mixture on top. Sprinkle with peanuts and garnish with sugar can cane.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out bland and unappetizing. The dressing lacked flavor and the jicama was too crunchy. I would not recommend this recipe.

Made this salad for a potluck and it was a hit! Everyone loved the unique combination of flavors and colors. The jicama gave it a nice crunch and the oranges added a refreshing sweetness. Will definitely make this again.

This salad is a delightful explosion of flavors and textures. The jicama adds a refreshing crunch, the beets provide a sweet earthiness, and the oranges bring a burst of citrusy brightness. The dressing is perfectly balanced, tying all the elements t
