I just spent a few days with my dear friend Randi. A long time ago, we grew up together on Long Island. She and her husband, Larry, keep a fantastic garden in which they plant all kinds of specialty veggies. Randi is an amazing and creative cook, and if you don’t believe me, just take a quick peak at this little gem that she whipped up once upon a time.
6 zebra beets (substitute red if you can’t get the zebra beets)
fruit from 4 mandarin oranges (equivalent to 1 small can)
4 oz. goat cheese (substitute vegan goat or feta cheese if you prefer)
1/2 cup walnuts, halved
3 T. orange-balsamic vinegar (from Trader Joe’s)*
Roast or grill the beets, and set aside to cool. Mix together the oranges and vinegar.
Peel the beets, and slice into 1/4-inch slices. Spread onto a large plate.
Cover the beets with the marinated oranges, and place the walnuts and goat cheese on top. Serves 4-6.
*[If you can’t find this vinegar at Trader Joe’s, you can get a similar flavor by squeezing the juice of half an orange into 2 tablespoons of white balsamic vinegar.]
A refreshing and nutritious dish that’s perfect for any meal. Thanks for sharing this delightful recipe—we’re excited to add it to our healthy eating routine and enjoy its vibrant flavors!
Glad you like it! Send us a picture when it’s done 🙂
