  • Roast beets for 35 to 40 minutes, until easily pierced with a fork.
  • Remove roasted beets from the pan and chill in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes to cool them quickly.
  • While the beets are chilling, whisk together the salad dressing ingredients until combined.
    1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tbsp champagne vinegar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 clove garlic, 1 tsp honey
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    1 pinch salt
  • Add beets to a bowl and toss with half of the vinaigrette and toss to coat*.
  • Plate the beets, then top with berries and mozzarella balls.

    1/4 cup microgreens, 1/4 cup radishes
  • Drizzle with additional dressing to taste.

Notes

Recipe Notes:
  • You can toss together the beets, blueberries and mozzarella balls in one bowl, but if you are using red beets the beet juice will stain the cheese. Our chefs recommend tossing the beets separately for a nicer presentation!
