Preparation
- Step 1
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the orange juice, balsamic vinegar, sherry or red wine vinegar, salt and pepper, and oils. Taste and adjust the acidity, adding a little more vinegar or orange juice if desired.
- Step 2
Toss the beets with 1 tablespoon of the dressing. Toss the arugula with 3 tablespoons of the remaining dressing and arrange on a platter or in a wide bowl. Arrange the beets and oranges on top of the arugula in an alternating pattern and drizzle on the remaining dressing. Top with the cilantro and walnuts, and serve.
- Advance preparation: Roasted beets will keep for 4 days in the refrigerator. They can be prepared and tossed with the tablespoon of dressing, and the oranges can be prepared, several hours before assembling the salad.

I have been making a version of this salad for months. It was fantastic with Cara Cara oranges but I also use tangerines or naval oranges - whatever I can find in the grocery. I add a small amount of very thinly slivered red onion and top with roasted pistachios and goat cheese. I use a citrus vinaigrette made with champagne vinegar and avocado and EVOO. Yum!
Loved this! The beets were very easy to roast. I wrapped them in nonstick foil and popped them into a 400° oven for about an hour. Then when they cooled enough to handle I took a paper towel and over the sink just rubbed the peel off.
I don't have enough time to cook as I'd like so I purchased cooked beets & a jar of mandarin oranges in water (for the orange slices). I used only EVOO for the dressing, and I added goat cheese. It was a hit!
Love this salad! I made it several times over the winter and it will become a staple at our house for winter when other fruits are less available.
A great recipe is a work of art, thoughtfully crafted to bring out the best in every ingredient. It not only fills your stomach but also delights the senses with balanced flavors, textures, and aromas. The care and attention to detail that go into creating such a recipe deserve true appreciation, as it transforms cooking into a rewarding and joyful experience.
