Time 1h10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 small beets or 2 large beets
2 seedless oranges
1 head radicchio
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/3 cup black olives, pitted and halved
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil or 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons orange flower water
1 -2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
salt, pepper to taste

Steps:

Cover beets with cold water in a pot, bring to boil, cook 1 to 2 hours, depending upon size, until they are easily pierced by a knife or metal skewer. Let beets cool in the water, then drain them and peel them. Cut each beet into wedges about 1 inch wide and place them in a mixing bowl.
Cut the oranges into supremes by cutting off the tops and bases, then cutting down the sides, following the natural curve, to remove the peel and pith. I find a boning knife works best for this. Over a small bowl, remove the segments by slicing between the membranes. Add the segments and any captured juice to the bowl of beet wedges.
Coarsely chop the radicchio into one-inch pieces and add to the bowl of beets. Add remaining ingredients and toss. Taste, adjust seasoning, serve.
