Beet and orange salad is a classic French combination that is both simple and elegant. When I roast beets, I usually make a salad with beets, oranges, and vinaigrette for lunch or a first course. If you like beets and oranges, you'll appreciate how these flavors come together — and the variations you can create.

Ingredients

Roasted beets

Orange slices

Vinaigrette

Goat cheese — optional

Fresh parsley or dill — optional

Instructions

Slice roasted beets and arrange them on a plate. 

Prepare the oranges by cutting off the peel and slicing the oranges. 

Whisk together a vinaigrette — it's just olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, sea salt, and pepper. 

Drizzle some vinaigrette over the beets and oranges. Save any extra vinaigrette for later in the week. 

Add optional herbs or goat cheese. I love this salad with variations of shallots in the vinaigrette, dill, parsley, or goat cheese. But just roast beets with orange and vinaigrette or lemon dressing is lovely!

I often cook "au pif," as we say in France, which means cooking without an exact recipe and by "feel" using your intuition.  You’ll find guidelines in many recipes versus exact quantities.  Write to me here if you have any questions about the recipes.

  • A Real Game Changer

    "We have made a lot of progress over here under your care. We are now all eating from the same “pot” which I was surprised how much my kids loved. They were so excited when I put the food in the middle of the table. They asked for it the next day, Can we do that special fancy dinner thing where we have a feast? It really is such a better ritual—passing the food around and all sharing from the same platter, a real game changer."
