 Categories: Vegetables, Citrus, Herbs, Salads, Cheese
      Yield: 4 Servings

      6 md Beets with good looking
           - greens; any colour
      2    Mandarin or Clementine
           - oranges
      2 tb Cider vinegar
      1 ts Honey
      2 tb Olive oil
    1/2 ts Salt
           Pepper
           Handful fresh herbs
    1/2 c  Feta or goat cheese

  Cut greens from beets. Wash greens and roots well.

  To Roast Beets:

  Set oven @ 400 F/200 C. Peel and cut beets into wedges and bake for
  40 minutes, turning them once halfway through. Roasting
  concentrates beets sweetness the most!

  To Steam:

  Steam beets in their skin until soft but not mushy. Smaller beets
  will take about 20 to 25 minutes. Medium beets 30 to 40 minutes,
  and large beets up to 1 hour.

  Steamed beets are done when you can pierce with a fork or skewer.
  After beets are done steaming or roasting, set aside and let cool.

  For steamed beets, remove skin and cut into wedges when cool enough
  to handle. Cool in refrigerator.

  Prepare The Greens:

  Cut beet greens into 3 cm (1") ribbons.

  Bring a large pot of water and about 1 tb salt to boil. Add the
  beet greens and cook until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes.

  Drain and immediately cool under cold running water. Squeeze out
  excess water and set aside

  Make dressing by juicing 1 mandarin orange or half of a large
  orange, about 1/4 cup. Save the other mandarin or half orange for
  later.

  And mix the juice with 1-1/2 to 2 tb vinegar, 2 tb oil, 1 ts honey,
  and 1/2 ts sugar. Adjust to taste. Add a bit of pepper and fresh
  herbs.

  In a bowl, sprinkle salt on beet greens and mix with half the
  dressing. Peel the other orange and separate into wedges. In a
  separate bowl, marinade the beet root wedges and orange wedges with
  rest of dressing.

  On your serving platter, lay out beet greens and arrange beet root
  and orange wedges over top. If you like, serve with cheese such as
  goat cheese or feta!
