Beet & Orange Salad with Ricotta Salata & Toasted Almonds

Soy-Free, Vegetarian

4 Servings, 170 Calories/Serving

Tender beets, juicy oranges, and creamy ricotta salata are tossed with baby spinach and toasted almonds in a maple vinaigrette for a tangy-sweet salad that pairs perfectly with any festive spread.

Ingredients: Spinach, red beets, orange, toasted almonds, ricotta salata, sweet vinaigrette base (red wine vinegar - maple syrup)

Instructions

1

Marinate the beets

Pat the beets dry, then cut into ¼-inch-thick slices. Place into a medium bowl and add the sweet vinaigrette base. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss gently to coat the beets. Let marinate for at least 5 min, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hrs.

2

Prep the orange

After the beets have marinated, peel the orange. Cut the fruit in half from top to bottom, then cut each half crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices, discarding any seeds.

3

Prepare the salad

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the marinated beets to a salad bowl, reserving the marinade. Add the spinach, almonds, and orange slices, then crumble in the ricotta salata. Drizzle with 1½ tbsp. of olive oil and 2 tbsp. of the reserved marinade. Toss gently to combine. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and the remaining marinade as desired.
