Roasted Beet and Orange Salad with Blue Cheese and Walnuts
Ingredients:
- 3/4 lb. beets, trimmed (4 medium)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 2 oranges, segmented
- 2 hearts, romaine lettuce, chopped
- 4 oz. blue cheese crumbles
- 1/2 cup walnut pieces
- 1 small red onion sliced
- Raspberry Vinaigrette to taste
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place beets in a square piece of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; fold foil into a packet. Roast until beets are easily pierced with a paring knife, 30 to 45 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel beets and cut into wedges.
- Chop romaine lettuce into a large bowl and top with beets, orange segments, onion slices, blue cheese crumbles, walnuts, and dressing. Toss and serve immediately. Yum!
