This vibrant beetroot and orange salad is full of flavour and simple to make. The citrusy sweetness of the orange and the earthy sweetness of the beetroot, together with red onion, fresh herbs and a light vinaigrette is a fantastic combination. Made with raw beetroot, this salad is a light and fresh tasting salad that is good to eat as it is to look at!<\/p>\n\n\n

Tips for preparing this Beetroot and Orange Salad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1) Buying beets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since this is a raw beet salad<\/strong> it is important to use the freshest produce possible. I like to purchase my beets from the farmers market. I like to choose beets with their greens intact, as fresh greens are a sign of fresh beets since the greens wilt long before the root. Most importantly, avoid beets with soft or shrivelled, flabby skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Selecting oranges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As for the oranges, I used a mix. One of my favourites, called Cara Cara is a type of navel orange, with a sweet, pink coloured flesh and no seeds. The other type was Spanish Valencia. Which I think is similar to Navel, it just doesn\u2019t have a navel. \ud83d\ude09 Blood oranges would also be a great choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Adding variety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Using a variety of types of either oranges or beets (such as Chioggia or golden beets) is a great way to vary the colour of your salad. And a little tip: rinsing and draining the julienned raw beetroot twice before adding to the salad with prevent the colour from seeping into everything else. But personally, I want all those extra beetroot juices in my salad!<\/p>\n\n\n
