Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large beets
- 3 large oranges
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/3 cup toasted walnuts or toasted pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 large ball or 2 medium balls of burrata cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
- Juice of half a lemon (about 2 tbsp)
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp shallot, finely chopped
- 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 415 degrees F. Wrap each beet individually in tin foil with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Place the wrapped beets in a baking dish. Roast for 45 minutes – 1 hour until beets are fork tender. Let them cool enough to be handled, and use the tin foil to rub off the beet skins.
- Slice the beets into large chunks.
- Slice the oranges into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Cut off the outer peel and white pith of each orange round, leaving the slice whole and in a hexagonal shape.
- Arrange the sliced beets and oranges together on a serving platter.
- Sprinkle on the parsley and walnuts.
- Use your hands to gently break up the burrata into chunks. Place the burrata chunks on top of the beets and oranges.
- Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over everything.
- Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, shallot, honey, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss.
- Serve immediately.
