Ingredients:

Serving

2 large beets, washed but not peeled
2 tbsp olive oil
coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
4 1/2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 oranges , preferably navel, peeled and separated into segments (can sub blood or tangerines)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped mint leaf
3 tsp minced shallots
1 cup french feta cheese

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, toss the beets with the olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Put the beets on a roasting pan and cover them with foil. Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (They are done when a sharp, thin-bladed knife can easily pierce through to their center.) Remove the pan from the oven, remove the beets from the pan and set them aside to cool.
While the beets are roasting, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and cut them into 1/2-inch dice. Put them in a bowl with 1 cup of the orange segments, the mint and the shallots. Add the vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper and toss gently.
Transfer the salad to a platter. Arrange the cheese and the remaining orange sections on top. Serve.
