Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh-squeezed)
1 tbsp orange juice (fresh-squeezed)
1 tsp dijon mustard
salt (to taste)
2 bunches beets (or 6 medium-sized)
21/2 cups arugula (wild baby)
1 orange
2 ozs goat cheese (crumbled)
3 tbsps nuts (shelled pistachio, roughly chopped)

Steps:

  • 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.
