  • Winter Citrus & Beet Salad

    Winter Citrus & Beet Salad

    Fresh, Sweet Satsuma Mandarins pair with Beets and Goat Cheese for this refreshing salad. It’s easy to put together and packs well for lunch!

     

    We chose to use cooked beets from Love Beets. These little jewels make quick work of all kinds of recipes. Baby Romaine is soft and plays nice with all the bold flavors going on. We used our raw walnuts from our bulk section, and Raw Goat Feta from Mt. Sterling  Co-Op Creamery.

    No need to measure- it’s all up to your flavor preferences. Peel the mandarin, chop the beets, crumble the cheese and toss together. Top with the dressing of your choice- we like simple balsamic vinegar and oil.
