Beet and
Orange Salad

I made this awesome beet salad
it was so good and addictive.
Fresh beets and blood oranges.
In a honey and mustard dressing.

Ingredients:
1 large beet
1 blood orange
zest from said orange
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
2 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:
Heat oven to 425 F.
Wrap beet in tin foil and place in
oven to roast for an hour,
hour and a quarter or so.
Unwrap and let the beet cool.
Rinse beet under cold running water,
peel the skin off the beet.
Chop into about inch dice.
Zest the orange, then slice off the peel.
cut in half then into thin slices.
Add to the beets.
In another bowl, add the oil, vinegar,
mustard, honey, orange zest, salt,
and pepper, and whisk to combine.
Pour about 3 Tablespoons of the vinaigrette
over the beets/oranges and toss to mix well.
