BEET, ORANGE AND ARUGULA SALAD



Beet, Orange and Arugula Salad image

The oranges in this sweet and pungent salad will look like blood oranges after they sit for a little while with the beets. This makes a pretty Christmas salad. Try to find the wispy wild arugula, which is more pungent than regular arugula.

BEET, MANDARIN ORANGE AND SPINACH SALAD



Beet, Mandarin Orange and Spinach Salad image

People seem to either hate or love beets -- I would guess you like them because you have chosen this recipe to look at. (The first recipe calls for canned beets; sometimes I buy fresh beets and cook them -- this variation is after the canned beet recipe.) When using the fresh beet recipe, I make the beets ahead of time to allow for cooling in the fridge and then just cut them up when assembling the salad.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ounces fresh spinach leaves
1 (15 ounce) can of cut beets (well drained)
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, well drained (in light syrup)

3 fresh beets (used in place of the canned beets)

Steps:

  • CANNED BEET RECIPE:.
  • Place spinach in a salad bowl.
  • Add remaining ingredients; toss and serve.
  • 5 minutes prep time; no cooking time.
  • FRESH BEET RECIPE:.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F Remove beet greens from 3 fresh beets; rinse beets and wrap tightly in foil. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Unwrap foil and remove skin by rubbing firmly with paper towels. Refrigerate beets until cool; cut into pieces and add to salad.

WILD ARUGULA AND BEET SALAD WITH ORANGE, WALNUTS AND TARRAGON



Wild Arugula and Beet Salad With Orange, Walnuts and Tarragon image

This is a salad filled with contrasting sweet and peppery flavors. Pungent wild arugula contrasts beautifully with sweet beets, anisy tarragon and juicy oranges. If you can find purslane, it makes a great addition to the salad, with its earthy flavor and almost juicy, delicate crunch. You can use a mix of colors for the beets. I roasted golden and red beets together, and the red beets bled into the outside layer of the golden beets, making their color striking in the salad.
