Happy Monday!

I can’t believe it’s already another week! Did you have a good weekend? Ours was filled with both rain and sunshine. So it was a relatively quiet weekend. I’ve been trying to do some spring cleaning, reorganize my schedule, and create brand new recipes.

I did go out to the farmer’s market though and spotted blood oranges. I cannot believe I haven’t made anything with blood oranges this citrus season! So today, we have a spring time salad with blood oranges. Because I can’t let the citrus season pass without featuring blood oranges somewhere!

I also recently discovered roasted beets. I know. What have I been doing all my life, right? But I had roasted beets three times in different dishes these last few weeks, and now I think I’m addicted. Roasted beets are my new thing.

Toss roasted beets in with a mix of greens, freshly sliced avocados, tomatoes, sliced blood oranges, raspberries, mint, and basil then drizzle a blood orange balsamic vinaigrette, and your spring salad is ready to be served.

I love salads that’s filled with so many different ingredients. This is now one of them.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with olive oil. If you don’t mind your baking sheet stained, then go ahead and just roast the beets directly on the baking sheet.

Peel the beets and slice them into wedges or slices, whichever you prefer.

Toss them lightly in olive oil and spread them on the baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on top.

Roast the beets for about 30 minutes until they are slightly charred.

While the beets are roasting, prepare all the other ingredients.

Then whisk together blood orange juice, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar to create blood orange balsamic vinaigrette.

Once the beets are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool down.

In a large bowl, toss together a mix of greens, tomatoes, sliced blood oranges, mint, basil, and nuts. Top with the roasted beets, avocado, and raspberries.

Serve the Roasted Beet Salad with Blood Orange Balsamic Vinaigrette.

Enjoy!
