In this culinary journey, we present a refreshing and vibrant salad that combines the earthy sweetness of beets with the zesty brightness of oranges. This delightful dish is not only a feast for the eyes but also a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. The crunch of toasted walnuts adds a delightful textural contrast, while the tangy dressing, made with a harmonious blend of orange juice, Dijon mustard, and honey, brings all the elements together in perfect harmony.
This article not only features the classic beet and orange salad recipe but also offers variations to cater to diverse preferences. For those who enjoy a touch of savory smokiness, there's a recipe that incorporates grilled beets, adding a depth of flavor that pairs wonderfully with the orange segments. If you're looking for a vegan option, we've got you covered with a recipe that uses a zesty lemon-tahini dressing instead of honey. And for a refreshing twist, the citrus salad with blood oranges and grapefruit adds a pop of color and a burst of tangy sweetness that will awaken your senses.

WILD ARUGULA AND BEET SALAD WITH ORANGE, WALNUTS AND TARRAGON
This is a salad filled with contrasting sweet and peppery flavors. Pungent wild arugula contrasts beautifully with sweet beets, anisy tarragon and juicy oranges. If you can find purslane, it makes a great addition to the salad, with its earthy flavor and almost juicy, delicate crunch. You can use a mix of colors for the beets. I roasted golden and red beets together, and the red beets bled into the outside layer of the golden beets, making their color striking in the salad.

Categories Vegetable
Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Wrap each beet in a piece of foil, sealing tight. Place all the beet packages on a foil-lined baking dish. Bake for 1 - 1 1/4 hours. Leave the beet packages on the baking dish, but carefully pull open a corner of the foil package to let the steam escape. Let the beet packages sit in this manner for 5-10 minutes. Carefully open the foil package more fully. Let the beet packages sit in this manner for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the beets can be handled comfortably. Slide your fingers over the surface of the beets and the skin of the beets will peel off easily. Cut the beets into wedges. Peel 2 of the oranges well, taking care to remove all the white pith, Carefully separate the peeled oranges into separate segments. Set aside. Squeeze the juice from the remaining orange. Set aside. In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the walnut oil, sugar, salt and pepper. Add the walnuts and toss well to coat. Place the walnuts in a single layer on a baking dish and bake 5-7 minutes until the nuts are very hot to the touch and smell "nutty." Allow nuts to cool and chop coarsely. In a bowl, combine the orange juice, the olive oil, the remaining tablespoon walnut oil, red wine vinegar, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Toss the lettuce with three-quarters of the vinaigrette and spread on a platter. Toss the beets with the remaining vinaigrette. Top the nest of greens with a layer of beets. Arrange the orange wedges decoratively around the mound of beets and sprinkle the seasoned nuts over everything. Serve immediately. Note: Other nuts and their counterpart in nut oil may be used instead of walnuts. Source: adapted from FROM TAPAS TO MEZE Joanne Weir
ROASTED BEET AND ORANGE SALAD
Steps:
- Beet Salad Steps Line each salad plate with baby greens. There is no need to dress the greens, as the salad topping provides plenty of oily goodness. Cube the roasted beets and place in a mixing bowl. Peel the orange(s), separate the segments and cut the segments into bite-sized pieces. Place the orange pieces in the bowl with the cubed beets. Mix up the dressing in a small bowl. Use the finest extra virgin olive oil and Dijon mustard you can manage. Depending on how many people you are serving, you may want to double or triple the ingredients. What is listed above serves two substantially. Pour the dressing over the beets and orange pieces. Mix everything gently. You want each piece to be coated with dressing but without bruising the beets and fruit. The beet juice will color the dressing and the dressing will color the oranges. It may be worth making this salad just to watch the color show. Divide the beet/orange mixture among the salad plates. Generously garnish each salad with the fresh fennel and chive combination. Both of these herbs provide a critical piece of the final flavor experience, so don't be skimpy. Sprinkle on the toasted nuts. The added crunch of the nuts is a fine finish for this otherwise soft salad. Toasted walnuts or pecans are recommended for their crunch value. If you are a nut lover, toss on an extra serving. The extra nuts will do no harm to the finished salad.
Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for small to medium-sized beets with smooth skin and vibrant color. Avoid beets that are too large, as they may be woody.
- Roast the beets: Roasting the beets concentrates their natural sweetness and flavor. To roast beets, preheat oven to 400°F and toss beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
- Use a variety of oranges: This recipe calls for both navel oranges and blood oranges. Navel oranges are sweet and juicy, while blood oranges add a tart and slightly bitter flavor. You can also use other types of oranges, such as Cara Cara or Valencia.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
- Garnish with herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or mint, add a pop of color and flavor to this salad. Garnish the salad with your favorite herbs before serving.
Conclusion:
This beet and orange salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy these seasonal vegetables. The roasted beets are sweet and tender, while the oranges add a bright and citrusy flavor. The dressing is light and tangy, and the herbs add a fresh and aromatic touch. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as a side dish.
