Beet Cali-style Cheese Citrus Fusion flavor Salad

A refreshing colorful salad can make a meal feel like an exotic escape, even in the heart of winter. While beets and cheese are a classic combination, the addition of juicy citrus and crunchy walnuts make this salad a cut above. A citrus-infused balsamic vinaigrette rounds it off with a clean, lightly bitter finish.

Salad

2 1/2 ounces mixed greens or raw spinach
1 large steamed beet bulb, about 1 cup worth (Note 1)
1 navel, cara-cara, or blood orange
1 1/2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup walnuts (toasted or quick candied) Balsamic Vinaigrette
33333333/100000000 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons good quality tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 garlic clove, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Stir together the vinaigrette ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 2: To segment the orange, first slice off the top and bottom of the orange with a sharp knife. Prop the orange up on the flat bottom and slice away the rest of the peel with the knife in a downward motion, including the white pith. Next, cut between the membranes to remove the individual orange wedges.
Step 3: To assemble, toss the lettuce greens in a small amount of the prepared vinaigrette. Divide the salad onto plates and top each with thinly sliced beets, orange pieces, the toasted or candied walnuts, and crumbled cheese.
Serve: Drizzle with more vinaigrette, to taste, and enjoy.
