Print Recipe

A vibrant and colorful salad featuring roasted beets, fresh oranges, and crunchy pistachios, perfect for any occasion and packed with nutrients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized beets, scrubbed and trimmed
  • 2 large oranges, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 1/3 cup pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
  • 2 cups arugula, washed and dried
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Scrub the beets clean and cut off the stems and roots. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces through them. Larger beets may take longer to cook.
  4. While the beets are roasting, prepare your oranges. Peel the oranges and slice them into thin rounds. Set aside.
  5. Once the beets are done roasting, allow them to cool for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully remove the foil and peel off the skins. Slice the beets into thin rounds.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. In a large bowl, toss the arugula with about half of the dressing until lightly coated.
  8. Assemble the salad on a serving platter. Start with the dressed arugula as the base, then layer the beet slices and orange rounds on top.
  9. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly over the salad for a delightful crunch.
  10. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

[‘Don’t skip peeling the beets as the skins can be bitter.’, ‘Use fresh oranges for the best flavor.’, ‘Toast the pistachios lightly in a dry skillet for extra flavor.’, ‘You can roast the beets and prepare the dressing a day in advance.’]
