Ingredients
- 5 medium beets trimmed and scrubbed
- 3 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 mandarin oranges peeled & segmented
- 2 cups arugula
- ½ cup pistachios shelled & roasted
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400°
- Scrub the beets and trim them by removing the stem and tail ends with a sharp knife.
- Wrap beets in foil and place on a baking sheet. Roast until they are fork tender, about 60 minutes, depending on the size of the beets. Remove them from the foil packets and allow them to cool.
- When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins. Cut beets into wedges. Set aside to cool completely.
- Peel the oranges and divide into segments, removing any excess white pith.
- In a large bowl, whisk oil, vinegar, mustard, and salt. Add the beet slices and orange segments, tossing gently to coat.
- Arrange arugula in a salad bowl or platter.
- Arrange the beet mixture over the arugula.
- Sprinkle with the pistachios before serving.
