Fresh picked beets are not only a mouthful of earthly sweetness but they are also packed with lots of nutrients. And this recipe is a real treat. I tasted beet salad at P.f.Chang. And i loved it. So now.. when Beets and Oranges are in season what better then to start of with a salad...
Ingredients
Beet roots - 3 medium sixed
Oranges - sliced without segments
Feta cheese - 2 tbsp
Spinach - 1/4 cup
Lettuce - 1/4 cup
Walnuts - 10-15 cut into halves
Method
- Place beets in a medium saucepan with water. Bring it to boil over high heat for 10-15 minutes or until the beets are cooked hard enough when fork is inserted. (we can say boiling beets partly).
- Drain beets and rub off skin under running water.
- Cut and slice them on a plate. (Do not cut beets on the cutting board, the juice will stain it. I did that mistake so i hope u don't)
- The slice the oranges without the segments.
- Cut the lettuce with your hands.
