- 4 cups baby arugula
- 3 medium sized golden beets
- 2 medium Satsuma Tangerines, 1 peeled and divided into segments, the other juiced
- 1 Tablespoon Bella Nonnas Cara Cara Orange White Balsamic
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon Bella Nonnas Ultra Premium EVOO
- 1/3 cup good quality, crumbled blue cheese
- Sea salt to taste
- Fresh ground pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup Croutons
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Scrub the beets removing any debris, roots and green parts.
- Place the beets on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fully enclose the beets in to a package.
- Drizzle the beets with a tablespoon of EVOO, a sprinkle of sea salt, and 1 tablespoon of water.
- Seal the package by crimping the foil and roast the beets for 1 hour or until tender when pierced with a knife.
- Allow to cool and then peel. Cut the beets in to six wedges and set aside.
- Just before serving, whisk the tangerine juice with the Cara-Cara Orange White Balsamic and a pinch of salt.
- Slowly drizzle in the remaining EVOO while whisking constantly to make a vinaigrette.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the arugula with 1/2 of the vinaigrette and then arrange on a plate or platter.
- Arrange the tangerine segments, golden beet wedges, and blue cheese over the arugula.
- Drizzle the rest of the dressing over the top, then add the croutons, and finish with fresh ground pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
