Blood Orange and Roasted Beet Salad with walnut dressing! This winter salad is so delicious, you’ve gotta try it! Vegetarian, easily vegan and gluten-free.
I’ve had a giant basket of these gorgeous blood oranges staring back at me for the past few days. After spying them last weekend at the market, I scooped up a bag hoping that creative recipe juices would flow from them to me. Produce osmosis, if you will.
How do I highlight these juicy, magenta fruits? Deeper in both color and flavor than a traditional orange, these deserve the royal treatment. After consulting my food-pairings bible, I brainstormed a list of yogurt bowls, cocktails and desserts when lunch-time came calling.
Having very little patience to create anything new, I threw together various ingredients in the fridge and pantry: leftover roasted beets, spinach, butter lettuce, avocado (always avocado), a little feta and a quick walnut dressing. Oh, and some sliced blood oranges for good measure. Maybe actually eating the fruit would fire up some much needed recipe jo-jo.
And then I took that first bite. And then another. And another. And before I could finish the bowl, I was slicing up more avocado and oranges for the next go around. Forget the fancy desserts and blood orange infused drinks, this salad was an instant winner. I say this often because it’s true, beautiful, nourishing food doesn’t always have to be so complicated. It’s one of the first lessons I teach to improve your Kitchen Confidence: start with delicious food and you will have delicious food.
I’ve eaten this salad for the past three days in a row, and it’s just as appealing as it was the first time. Texture lovers, you are going to love this one. Creamy avocado, tart oranges, tangy feta, I could go on and on. Thankfully, I don’t need to. The pictures are much better at telling the story. For a healthy, nutrient-dense packed lunch, start here. Bonus points that it stars pretty-in-pink beets and oranges; perfect for any upcoming Valentine’s day lunch or dinner.
