Beets are a vibrant source of minerals, antioxidants, and fiber, with a sweet and earthy flavor that delights the senses. Oranges, on the other hand, are bursting with juicy goodness and are a great source of vitamin C. When combined, these ingredients create a symphony of flavors that are both satisfying and energizing.
Your New Favorite Recipe: Beet and Orange Salad
Ingredients:
1 medium beet, peeled and grated
1 large orange, peeled and cut into segments
A handful of fresh greens (spinach, arugula, or mixed greens work beautifully)
For the dressing:
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional for garnish: a sprinkle of feta cheese or roasted walnuts
Instructions:
Get the ingredients ready: Start by peeling and grating the beet. Next, carefully peel the orange and cut it into segments, removing as much of the white pith as possible.
Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the orange segments, grated beet, and a handful of fresh greens. This added nutritional boost and vibrant colors will make the salad even more enticing.
Prepare the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until well combined.
Dress and toss: Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients, then gently toss everything together to evenly coat.
Garnish and serve: Just before serving, sprinkle some feta cheese or roasted walnuts on top for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
