Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium beets (red or golden)
  • 2 large oranges (navel or blood orange)
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled or goat cheese, optional)
  • 1/4 cup walnuts (chopped or pecans)
  • 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
  • Fresh mint or parsley (for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly, trim stems, wrap each beet in foil, and roast on a baking sheet for about 45-60 minutes until tender.
  2. While beets are roasting, prepare the oranges by slicing off both ends and removing the peel; cut into rounds or segments.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until blended.
  4. Once roasted beets have cooled slightly, peel and slice them into wedges or rounds. Arrange beets and orange slices on a serving platter.
  5. Top with red onion slices, sprinkle with feta cheese and walnuts, then drizzle with dressing before garnishing with fresh mint or parsley.
