Method
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.
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.
Slice the beet into thin rounds. Roughly chop the walnuts5 and crumble the Adyghe4 cheese by hand.
In a bowl, whisk together the orange2 juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt.
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.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
