Beet & Blood Orange Salad w/ Tahini Dressing
Serves 4
SKCC
Although the groundhog promised us an early spring, in many parts of the states, winter has seemed never ending. Enter a sunny salad - bright from the golden beets, and topped with peppery radishes that play off of their spicy arugula counterpart.
If you’re not into beets, you can sub them out for your favorite starchy veg such as roasted sweet potato, butternut squash, or even carrots (look to the Roasted Carrot Salad from Week 25 for inspiration). If you’d like to bulk it up a bit, feel free to add in leftover grains, shredded chicken, salmon, etc.
If you’re not a fan of tahini, don’t be quick to write this dressing off. The tahini serves more as a creamy canvas for the blood orange juice to shine. You’ll hardly know it’s there.
As we approach spring and summer, consider investing in a mandolin. It makes for beautiful, consistently sized shaved vegetables that are so lovely in a salad.
