Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

  1. Peel the orange2, removing all pith, and slice into rounds about 5 mm thick. Strain the juice that drips onto the cutting board into a bowl for the dressing.

  2. Thinly slice the red6 onion into half-moons and soak in cold water for 5 minutes to mellow the bite, then drain and pat dry.

  3. Slice the beet into thin rounds. Roughly chop the walnuts5 and crumble the Adyghe4 cheese by hand.

  4. In a bowl, whisk together the orange2 juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt.

  5. Arrange the arugula3, beet, and orange2 slices on a plate, then top with onion, cheese, and walnuts5. Drizzle with the dressing.

Tips

Why it works
Soak the onion in cold water for 5 minutes: the sharpness goes and it does not overpower the beet and orange.
Substitutions
Use feta or mozzarella, 50 g, instead of Adyghe cheese. A tangerine, 100 g, can replace the orange.
Common mistakes
The salad turns pink and watery if you slice the beet early or dress everything at once. Dress it just before serving.
Storing and reheating
Eat it right away. To prepare ahead, keep the beet, orange and arugula apart for up to 1 day.
Serve with
Serve with roast chicken or boiled potatoes.
