Ingredients
For the vinaigrette:
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- honey a dab, plus more to taste
- kosher salt
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chives finely chopped
For the salad:
- 3 ounces arugula
- 3/4 cup hummus
- 8 ounces baby beet cooked and peeled, halved
- 2 orange peel and pith removed, sliced horizontally into rounds
Instructions
- To make the vinaigrette, whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, honey, 2 pinches of salt and several turns of black pepper. Whisk in olive oil in a slow steady stream, and continue whisking until emulsified. Whisk in chopped chives, then season to taste with additional honey, salt and pepper. Flavors should be bright and acidic.
- To assemble the salad, toss arugula with a few spoonfuls of the vinaigrette. The greens should be glistening with, but not drowning in, the dressing. Spoon 3 tablespoons of hummus onto the middle of a salad plate, then spread it into a flat, wide disc. Top with dressed arugula and a scattering of halved beets and orange slices. Finish with a small drizzle of vinaigrette and some freshly ground black pepper. Repeat with 3 other salad plates. You could also divide ingredients between 2 large plates for a more substantial salad.
Notes
- * Pre-roasted beets can be purchased for convenience and used here. If you'd like to roast your own beets, start with 2 to 3 bunches of baby beets. Trim root and stem ends, then rinse the beets thoroughly with cold water. Dry beets and place on a large square of aluminum foil. Drizzle beets with olive oil, salt and pepper, then bring the foil up around the beets to form a sealed package. Roast beets at 400°F until tender (30 - 40 minutes). If you want to roast various colored beets, I would recommend roasting each color in it's own foil package to avoid mixing/bleeding of colors. Let the beets cool slightly, then peel off skins (they should just slip right off).
