Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized beetroot
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced red onion
- 1 large, zest and juice orange
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup, sliced almonds
- 0.25 cup, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly, trimming off the tops and roots. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
Step 3
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
While the beets are roasting, prepare the vinaigrette by combining the orange zest, orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk vigorously until the dressing is emulsified. Set aside.
Step 5
Once the beets are done, allow them to cool enough to handle. Unwrap from the foil and peel off the skins, which should come off easily.
Step 6
Slice the peeled beets into wedges or rounds, depending on your preference.
Step 7
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach, sliced red onion, sliced almonds, and chopped parsley.
Step 8
Add the sliced beets to the salad and gently toss everything together.
Step 9
Drizzle the orange vinaigrette over the salad and toss again to ensure everything is well-coated with the dressing.
Step 10
Serve immediately, and enjoy this refreshing Whole30-compliant salad!
