Ingredients

  • Salad Dressing
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • salt, to taste
  • Salad
  • 2 bunches or 6 medium-sized beets
  • 2 1/2 cups wild baby arugula
  • 1 orange
  • 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons shelled pistachio nuts, roughly chopped

Method

  • For dressing, whisk together mustard, lemon juice, and orange juice. Then slowly whisk in the oil and season with salt. Set aside.
  • Slice the tops of the beets and wrap each one individually in aluminum foil. Roast the beets in a 400°F oven for 60-70 minutes, or until tender. Let the beets cool, then rubs off the skins with your fingers and dice into bite-size pieces. *The beets can be made a day in advance and refrigerated.*
  • Cut the orange into supremes (remove the skin, then cut between the membrane of each orange segment).
  • Toss the arugula with a little of the dressing. Then plate the salads by placing the arugula on the bottom, then the beets, pistachios, orange supremes, and goat cheese. Drizzle remaining dressing on top.
