French Beet Salad with Orange & Tarragon (France)
A refreshing and elegant salad that highlights the earthy sweetness of beets with citrusy brightness.
Ingredients:
2 medium beets, unpeeled
1 orange (zested and segmented)
1 tbsp orange juice (from the same orange)
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp fresh tarragon leaves, finely chopped
½ tbsp chives, finely chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Coat the beets with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt, then wrap them in foil.
Roast for about 1 hour or until a knife slides in easily. Let the beets cool slightly, then peel off the skin by rubbing with your hands or a paper towel.
Slice the beets into wedges or rounds and place them in a mixing bowl.
Drizzle with orange juice, white wine vinegar, and olive oil. Toss gently to coat and leave to macerate in the fridge for 15 minutes.
When ready to serve, arrange the beet slices on a plate. Add a few orange supremes, sprinkle with tarragon and chives, and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Finish with a touch of orange zest for extra citrus pop and a final drizzle of olive oil.
