Ingredients

  • 16 oz beets
  • 6 cups mixed greens
  • 1/3 cup sliced red onion
  • 2 navel oranges
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1/2 tsp grated orange rind
  • 3 tbsps orange juice
  • 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsps white vinegar

Directions

  • Wash beets and wrap in foil. Place in 400 °F (200 °C) oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes or until knife slides easily into beets.
  • Let stand until cool enough to handle. Remove skin and slice thinly; set aside.
  • Spread greens onto platter and sprinkle with red onions then top with beets.
  • With a chef’s knife and using a sawing motion cut skin and white pith from oranges and cut between membranes to make segments.
  • Sprinkle over top of greens; set aside.
  • For the orange poppy seed dressing; in a small bowl, whisk together oil, orange rind and juice, vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic and poppy seeds. (Grating rather than crushing the garlic gives it smoother texture.)
  • Drizzle over salad mixture and serve.
  • Note: based on a recipe from the Heart and Stroke Foundation 2011.
