Beet Alert!

It's gonna be another red poo day. I combined three unlikely ingredients last night for an awesome salad.

Navel oranges, roasted beets, and arugula - all from my CSA.


The salad was dressed with orange juice, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. And tasty it was. The spicy arugula stood its ground with the earthy beets and both enjoyed the sweet juicy orange segments. As you can see, it didn't even need any oil to coat the leaves.

Mmmm...I love beet salads. My fav is shredded beets and carrots with toasted sunflower seeds, raisins and goat cheese tossed with an apple cider and oil dressing.
Yours looks delicious too!

My favorite beet salad uses beets, amrican cheese and mayonaise- Sonds gross but is very good!

I love beets. We're eating canned pickled beets now, since the last of last fall's beets are gone.

I'm so jealous of your winter vegetables. We are still getting snow, here.
