I met my work friends in Central Park for a picnic, and I brought my new go-to side dish, Beet and Orange salad The salad is made up of beets, navel orange slices, roasted walnuts, and romaine lettuce. If you're having a dairy meal, I'd suggest adding some goat cheese. Trader Joe's has quality goat cheese crumbles for quite cheap.
Here is the basic salad recipe:
-Buy fresh beets, wrap them in foil, and bake them at 400 for about 45 mins (they're done when you can put a knife smoothly through them). Let beets cool, peel off the top layer of skin, and slice them.
-Peel oranges and slice them.
-Roast walnuts at 350 for about 6 mins and then roughly chop
-Add spinach and cheese if desired
-For dressing, I make a fresh summer dressing made up of orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar and salad. Have a heavy hand with the vinegar and beat in the oil slowly to taste.
