Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 4-5 small golden beets
  • 3 blood oranges
  • 3-4 small radishes (I used watermelon radishes)
  • 2 cups mache
  • 3-4 ounces feta or tofu feta
  • ¼ cup blood orange juice (about ½ an orange)
  • 1½ teaspoons red balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot (optional)
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Scrub beets well, then wrap each beet in aluminum foil and roast for 60-90 minutes until tender. Remove from oven, unwrap, and allow to cool slightly.
  2. To make the vinaigrette, combine the blood orange juice, balsamic vinegar, salt, and chopped shallot, if using. Whisk well.
  3. When beets are cool enough to handle, peel off skin, then slice or chop into bite-sized pieces. Peel, then slice or chop blood oranges. Slice radishes thinly.
  4. Place beets, blood oranges, and mache in a large salad bowl, drizzle vinaigrette over the top and toss well to combine. Top with sliced radishes and crumbled feta.
