BEET, ORANGE AND ARUGULA SALAD
The oranges in this sweet and pungent salad will look like blood oranges after they sit for a little while with the beets. This makes a pretty Christmas salad. Try to find the wispy wild arugula, which is more pungent than regular arugula.

Tips:
- Select firm and smooth beets: Choose beets that are round and deep red in color. Avoid beets that have blemishes or bruises.
- Roast the beets properly: Roasting the beets will enhance their sweetness and flavor. Make sure to wrap the beets in aluminum foil before roasting to prevent them from drying out.
- Use a variety of citrus fruits: This recipe calls for oranges, but you can also use grapefruit, tangerines, or lemons. The citrus fruits will add a bright and tangy flavor to the salad.
- Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts will bring out their nutty flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast the walnuts in a toaster oven or in a pan over medium heat.
- Add goat cheese for a creamy touch: Goat cheese is a great way to add a creamy and tangy flavor to the salad. You can also use feta cheese or blue cheese if you prefer.
- Dress the salad just before serving: This will prevent the salad from getting watery. You can use a simple vinaigrette dressing or a store-bought dressing of your choice.
Conclusion:
This warm beet and orange salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The beets are roasted to perfection and the citrus fruits add a bright and tangy flavor.
