This colorful salad balances the sweetness of beets and oranges with arugula’s peppery bite. The only cooking required is roasting the beets in the oven. Feel free to cook down a bunch of beets ahead of time since they're great on their own as a side to any entrée. The simple dressing features shallots, orange juice, and red wine vinegar, which nicely complements both the fruit and lettuce. It's a gorgeous, flavorful salad that's a showstopper for any family meal or dinner party.

Ingredients

Uncooked beets

4 small, red and/or yellow, leaves and stems cut off, beets scrubbed

Orange juice

¼ cup(s)

Shallot

¼ cup(s), chopped, minced

Olive oil

2 Tbsp

Red wine vinegar

1 Tbsp

Table salt

½ tsp

Black pepper

¼ tsp, freshly ground (or to taste)

Arugula

5 oz, baby leaves

Orange

2 medium, navel, peel and pith removed, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Place beets on a large piece of aluminum foil; fold foil to form a tightly sealed packet. Place packet on a baking sheet; roast until beets are tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 hour.
  3. Cool beets slightly. When cool enough to handle, rub off skins with your fingers or a small knife; thinly slice.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together orange juice, shallots, oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add arugula to bowl; toss to coat. Top arugula with oranges and beets; gently toss to coat. Grind more black pepper over top, if desired. Divide among four plates and serve.
  5. Serving size: about 2 cups
