Beet, Orange and Apple Salad

This colorful salad uses the beet greens and the beets, along with crisp apple slices, tangy orange sections and crunchy sunflower seeds.  It’s a robust, wonderful mix of flavors that’s perfect for use of seasonal produce in early winter.

Tip: If you don’t have raspberry vinegar, don’t sweat it: use your favorite sweet salad vinegar, like balsamic or sherry, instead.

Ingredients

  • 1½ lbs. beets
  • 2 cups torn beet greens
  • 1 large orange, peeled and sectioned
  • 2 Granny Smith apple, peeled and sliced
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. raspberry vinegar
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted sunflower seeds, toasted

  2. In a bowl, combine orange sections, beets and apples.
  3. Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, salt and garlic. Pour over beet mixture and toss well.
