BEET, ORANGE AND ARUGULA SALAD



Beet, Orange and Arugula Salad image

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.

WILD ARUGULA AND BEET SALAD WITH ORANGE, WALNUTS AND TARRAGON



Wild Arugula and Beet Salad With Orange, Walnuts and Tarragon image

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.

BEET AND ARUGULA SALAD WITH BERRIES



Beet and Arugula Salad With Berries image

Berries and beets: a salad of dark green, blue and purple hues if there ever was one. I threw this together because I had these ingredients on hand - beets that I'd roasted several days earlier, arugula that was bolting in my garden, and berries from the market - and it worked. The sweet-tart flavor of the berries contrasts beautifully with the earthy sweetness of the beets and the pungent arugula.
