3 navel oranges
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
3 cups arugula or 3 cups baby lettuce
pistachios (chopped)
parmesan cheese, shaved
Directions:
1. Grate zest ofone organce into a large bowl, and peel all three oranges, removing sections from the membrane, using a sharp knive. Add the orange sections to the peel.
2. Squeeze the membranesinto the bowl to extract any remaining juice. Add balsamic vinegar and lemon juice drop by drop, and then stir in the olive oil. Toss to get a bit of a dressing going. Season with salt and peepr.
3. Add arugula or lettuce and warm beets, and serve with chopped pistacios and Parmesan cheese shavings.
