Ingredients

    Salad

    2 large navel oranges, peeled and sliced
    1 bunch of arugula leaves, cleaned, and stems removed
    Sliced red onion
    1/4 cup chopped walnuts

    1/4 cup white wine vinegar
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1/4 teaspoon dried mustard

Salad Prep: Cook the beets with their peel on. Cover the beets with water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes or until beets can easily be pierced through with a fork. After cooking, allow the beets to come to room temperature and remove their peels and then slice them. Place them in a small bowl and marinate them in half of the dressing recipe above. On individual salad plates place the arugula, a few slices of orange, a few beets, a few slices of red onion and some chopped walnuts. Sprinkle dressing over the individual salads.
