Zesty Delight: Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad Recipe

Today’s Recipe: Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you my latest creation: a refreshing and vibrant Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad. This dish is perfect for brightening up your day with a burst of flavors and colors. Let’s dive into the recipe!

For this salad, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• beets (about 400g), roasted and sliced
• oranges (about 300g), peeled and segmented
• fennel bulb (about 200g), thinly sliced
• avocado (about 150g), diced
• walnuts (about 50g), toasted and chopped
• arugula (about 100g)
• fresh mint leaves, torn
• extra virgin olive oil
• juice of 1 lemon
• sea salt
• black pepper

To prepare this dish, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• baking sheet
• knife
• cutting board
• zester
• small bowl
• whisk

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and placing the beets on a baking sheet. Roast them for about 45-50 minutes, or until tender. Once cooked, allow them to cool before slicing them thinly.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Set it aside.

In a large serving bowl, combine the roasted beets, orange segments, sliced fennel, diced avocado, toasted walnuts, arugula, and torn mint leaves. Gently toss everything together.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss again to ensure everything is well coated.

To finish, use a zester to grate some lemon zest over the top of the salad for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

This Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad weighs approximately 1000g after preparation and is perfect for serving four people. Each serving is about 250g and contains roughly 200 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to roast the beets with a drizzle of honey for a touch of sweetness that pairs perfectly with the citrus flavors.

I hope you enjoy making this Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad as much as I enjoyed creating it! Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and make it your own. Happy cooking!
