4 Beets, greens trimmed
2 Naval Oranges
½ c. Good Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Good Romano Cheese
Preheat oven to 400°.
Place beets on foil & drizzle with oil.
Season with salt & pepper.
Close foil tightly around beets.
Roast 1 hour.
Allow to cool well enough to handle.
Remove the skin & cut into 1” cubes.
Place into a bowl.
Cut the rind from the oranges removing all of the white pith.
Segment the oranges over a bowl to catch the juice – putting segments in with beets.
Squeeze the juice from into “catch” bowl.
Whisk in olive oil & season with salt & pepper.
Pour dressing over salad.
Shave the Romano on top & serve.
NOTE: To segment the orange, cut between the orange & the membrane using a paring knife.
Ever since my 8th grade home economics class, where I made boxed tacos for the first time, I knew cooking was in my blood. I've had the honor of having my recipes published in New Hampshire Magazine, Taste of Home, the Nashua Telegraph and several cookbooks.
