Beet, Orange, And Black Olive Salad
- 5 small beets or 2 large beets
- 2 seedless oranges
- 1 head radicchio
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1/3 cup black olives, pitted and halved
- 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil or 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons orange flower water
- 1 -2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- salt, pepper to taste
- Cover beets with cold water in a pot, bring to boil, cook 1 to 2 hours, depending upon size, until they are easily pierced by a knife or metal skewer. Let beets cool in the water, then drain them and peel them. Cut each beet into wedges about 1 inch wide and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Cut the oranges into supremes by cutting off the tops and bases, then cutting down the sides, following the natural curve, to remove the peel and pith. I find a boning knife works best for this. Over a small bowl, remove the segments by slicing between the membranes. Add the segments and any captured juice to the bowl of beet wedges.
- Coarsely chop the radicchio into one-inch pieces and add to the bowl of beets. Add remaining ingredients and toss. Taste, adjust seasoning, serve.
