FENNEL, BEET AND ORANGE SALAD WITH CUMIN VINAIGRETTE
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.

Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid beets that are too large, as they may be woody.
- Roast the beets properly: To get the best flavor and texture, roast the beets until they are tender but still hold their shape. This usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour at 400°F (200°C).
- Use a variety of citrus fruits: The citrus vinaigrette in this recipe is made with a combination of lemon, lime, and orange juice. You can use any combination of citrus fruits that you like, but be sure to use fresh juice for the best flavor.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of vinaigrette goes a long way. Add just enough dressing to coat the salad lightly, and then toss to combine.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served fresh. The roasted beets will start to lose their color and flavor if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This roasted beet and fennel salad with citrus mint vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted beets are tender and flavorful, the fennel adds a bit of crunch, and the citrus mint vinaigrette is the perfect finishing touch. This salad is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
