Cuisine American
- 4 small beets, scrubbed and trimmed
- 4 cups Spring greens
- ½ cup pistachios
- 2 tangerines, peeled sliced
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
- ½ cup goat cheese, crumbled
For the Red Wine Vinaigrette:
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
Place four small beets, trimmed and scrubbed, in a three quart saucepan. Fill the pot with water, until the beets are completely submerged. Cover the pots, and simmer the beets for thirty minutes until the beets are tender. Rub the beets under boiling water, to remove the peels. Cut the beets into quarter inch slices.
While the beets cook, combine all the vinaigrette ingredients in a jar, and shake it to combine everything.
Toss the beets and vinaigrette in a large bowl along with the rest of the ingredients.
