This is a French classic. I add a small amount of goat cheese or feta to mine (in France they might use blue cheese, or no cheese), a tart contrast to the sweet beets.

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
6 navel oranges
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 heads Bibb lettuce (1/2 pound), or 1 head Boston lettuce, cut into 1/2-inch strips
