Beet Orange And Fennel Salad

Ingredients

Salad:

• 1 – 1 ½ pounds cooked beets- steamed or roasted, peeled and cut into wedges
• 2 oranges ( feel free to sub 1 blood orange), peeled, cut into bite sized pieces
• 1 medium fennel bulb, cored and shaved thinly
• ⅛–¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
• ⅛ cup fresh dill or mint- chopped
• ⅛ cup fresh italian parsley – chopped

Dressing:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons honey ( or vegan alternative- agave, maple)
• ¼ tablespoon salt and pepper, more to taste

Directions

Place the cooked cut beets, oranges and fennel in a medium bowl. Add fresh herbs.

Add dressing ingredients, and toss.  ( It helps to warm the honey first if using- I just place the jar of honey in a bowl of hot water to loosen it.)  Alternatively, you could whisk the dressing ingredients separately in a small bowl, then toss with the salad.

Taste for salt and acid. Add more salt and vinegar to taste.

Notes:

Store leftovers for up to 3 days in the fridge, covered. Repurpose into grain bowls for lunch – serving the cool salad over warm quinoa with sliced avocado,  sprouts and toasted pumpkin seeds. My husband loves this with crumbled goat cheese.
