Orange Beetroot Salad

br />

A delicious and simple salad with fresh oranges and quality vacuum packed cooked beetroot served with orange caper dressing. d makes The contrast of colours makes the salad extremely appetizing and pleasing.

  • 2 Cooked Beetroot, cut into 4mm thick slices
  • 2 Oranges
  • 1 tbsp Flat parsley leaves, chopped
  • 3 tbsp Orange juice
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • 20 ml Olive oil
  • Salt and fresh ground Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Red onion, finely chopped
  • 10 Capers
  1. Slice the cooked beetroot into 4mm thick slices. Peel the oranges, removing the white pith and slice into 4mm slices.
  2. Place orange juice, honey, olive oil in a jar, season with salt and pepper. Close the lid and give it a good shake. Add in chopped red onions and capers. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Arrange the orange and beetroot slices alternately in a row on a serving platter. Pour the dressing over and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top. Serve immediately.

And I also want to thank Alisha of The Ardent Epicure and Sara of The Lonely Radish for sharing this award with me. THANK YOU!

  70. What a bright sparkley dish for the Christmas season. I have never thought of oranges and beets... I love goat cheese with beets, but will definitely have to try this combo. Angie - could I also ask you to go back to my tofu post and examine the photos and critique my attempt. Tell me if this is similar to your tofu - or too?? this or that??
    I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks.

  72. Months ago, I saw this orange-inspired salad of Moroccan flavors on The New York Times! Man, the use of spices is heavy and looks exotic to me at least! Thank you for pushing me to try this kind of salad out with your very own orangish salad!!! =)

    Happy Holiday Season!!!
