Bar Favorites

  1. 1

    Roast beets

    Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Scrub 2 medium beets, wrap in foil with a drizzle of olive oil, and roast until tender, about 45-60 minutes. Let cool, then peel and dice into 1/2-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Prepare greens

    Rinse and thoroughly dry 4 cups of baby arugula; place in a large salad bowl.

  3. 3

    Segment oranges

    Cut off top and bottom of the orange, remove peel and pith, then cut along membranes to release segments. Measure out 1 cup of orange segments.

  4. 4

    Toast walnuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast 1/2 cup walnuts until fragrant and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool.

  5. 5

    Make dressing

    Whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

  6. 6

    Assemble salad

    Add the roasted beets to the arugula, then fold in orange segments and 1/2 cup goat cheese crumbles. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with toasted walnuts. Toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
