Vibrant beet and pomegranate salad on a bed of fresh greens.
Ingredients:
  • 3 golden beets (about 1 pound)
  • 1 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup orange juice (can sub with 3 tablespoons Triple Sec)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil for the salad, plus 1/2 teaspoon more for roasting the beets
  • 1/8 teaspoon black or white pepper
  • 2 cups arugula and/or butter lettuce leaves
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions:
  • - Roast the beets: Coat the beets with olive oil, wrap in foil, roast in a pan at 400°F until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, peel, and dice into bite-sized pieces.
  • To prepare the glaze, combine diced cooked beets, onions, vinegar, water, orange juice, orange zest, sugar, salt, and pepper in a skillet over high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer and stir occasionally until it thickens into a glaze, approximately 2 tablespoons (around 5 minutes). Once ready, remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Combine the pomegranate seeds and olive oil with the beet mixture, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve over salad greens and finish with a sprinkle of feta cheese.
