Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium beets, scrubbed and trimmed
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
1 10 ounce package mixed salad greens
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Place beets in a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool, peel then cut into cubes. While the beets are cooking, place the walnuts in a skillet over medium-low heat. Heat until beets are warm and just starting to toast. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice concentrate, balsamic vinegar and olive oil to make the dressing. Combine beets, walnuts, gorgonzola and dressing a large bowl. Pack the beet mixture into biscuit rings and refrigerate. Place helping of greens onto each salad plate and top with ring mold of beet mixture and lift.
