Ingredients
  

Beets

  • 3 large beets
  • olive oil enough to coat beets
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Salad

  • 1 orange
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 2 oz crumbled goat cheese
  • 2 oz toasted pecans or walnuts

Instructions
 

Beets

  • Remove the tops from the beets and rinse until clean.
  • Toss with olive oil & salt. Roast at 375° for 20 minutes or until a toothpick can easily pierce the middle of the beet.
  • Rub with a towel while still warm to remove skin and cut into bite sized pieces

Dressing

  • Combine orange juice, cumin, Dijon, black pepper and vinegar. Whisk or blend to incorporate.
  • Slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified. If it comes out too thick, add a little water to reach desired consistency.

Salad

  • Remove peel from orange and cut into wedges or bite sized pieces. Toss with mixed greens, beets, and 1 oz of dressing. Top with goat cheese and nuts. Perfect holiday salad!
