Ingredients
3 medium beets
2 navel oranges
4 cups arugula
1/3 cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
-
Wash and trim the beets, leaving about an inch of the stem intact. Wrap each beet tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
While the beets are roasting, peel the oranges and cut them into segments. Set them aside.
-
Once the beets are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Unwrap the foil and use a paper towel to rub off the skin. Cut the beets into wedges or slices.
-
In a large bowl, combine the arugula, roasted beets, orange segments, sliced red onions, and pine nuts.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle this dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to combine.
-
Serve the roasted beet and orange salad immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors and textures.
