Ingredients:

• 3 medium beets, roasted and sliced
• 2 oranges, peeled and segmented
• 1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented
• 100g arugula

Kitchen Tools:

To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the beets on a baking sheet. Roast them for about 45-60 minutes or until tender. Let them cool before peeling and slicing them into rounds.

In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted beet slices, orange segments, grapefruit segments, and arugula. Toss gently to mix everything together.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the dressing. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.

Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and chopped pistachios for added texture and flavor.

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of za’atar spice blend to the salad before serving. It brings a unique Middle Eastern twist to this already delicious dish!
