Time 1h10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 small beets or 2 large beets
2 seedless oranges
1 head radicchio
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/3 cup black olives, pitted and halved
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil or 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons orange flower water
1 -2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
salt, pepper to taste

Steps:

Cover beets with cold water in a pot, bring to boil, cook 1 to 2 hours, depending upon size, until they are easily pierced by a knife or metal skewer. Let beets cool in the water, then drain them and peel them. Cut each beet into wedges about 1 inch wide and place them in a mixing bowl.
Cut the oranges into supremes by cutting off the tops and bases, then cutting down the sides, following the natural curve, to remove the peel and pith. I find a boning knife works best for this. Over a small bowl, remove the segments by slicing between the membranes. Add the segments and any captured juice to the bowl of beet wedges.
Coarsely chop the radicchio into one-inch pieces and add to the bowl of beets. Add remaining ingredients and toss. Taste, adjust seasoning, serve.

BEET, ORANGE, BLACK OLIVE SALAD image

Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 small or 2 large beets
1 can mandarin oranges (equal to 2 full size oranges)
1 Treviso (red chicory)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
3 TB chopped parsley
5 TB black olives, pitted and halved
3 TB grapes oil
1 tsp orange flower water
1.5 TB red wine vinegar
salt, pepper

Steps:

Place beets in a pot, cover with cold water and bring to boil. Cook for 1-2 hrs, until tender. When you stick a small knife into each beet it should go in smoothly. Leave the beets to cool down in the water. Once cool, take them out and peel them. Cut into wedges. Place beets into mixing bowl. Add mandarin oranges (equiv to 2 oranges). Cut Treviso into 1-in thick slices, break into separate leaves and add to salad. Add all remaining ingredients and toss together gently. Taste for seasoning and serve with herbed rice for a light lunch.
