Beet and Orange Salad

PDF Format

Beets are helpful in moving the liver qi, and the sour flavor of citrus fruits helps to
nourish the liver.

Cut the tops off the fresh beets and scrub thoroughly. Place whole beets in a
baking pan, drizzle with olive oil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until the
beets are easily pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Under cool running water, peel the beets with a sharp knife. Slice beets thinly
and set aside.

While beets are baking, combine the dressing ingredients in a blender and blend
until smooth. Taste for salt, and add more if desired.

Place a bed of greens on each of 4 serving plates. Divide beets and orange
sections between the 4 plates. Drizzle each plate with ¼ of the dressing. Top
with toasted almonds. Serve immediately
