Ingredients
  

  • 2 bunches beets red and yellow
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 3 oranges
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley

Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Peel the beets with a vegetable peeler.

  • Cut the beets into small cubes. Fold a large piece of aluminum foil in half. Put the beets in the middle of the foil. I don’t want the colors to bleed, so I do two separate pouches. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

  • Fold the corners of the foil together, and pinch the pouch shut. Put the pouches in a pan, just in case they leak. Bake in a 400°F oven for 25-35 minutes.

  • While the beets are roasting, segment the oranges. Cut off the bottoms of the oranges so they do not roll on the cutting board. Using a sharp paring knife, start at the top and work your way down removing the peel.

  • Hold the peeled orange in your hand, and carefully cut the flesh out between the membranes. Add the segments to a bowl and squeeze the juice from the orange.
