How to Make Vibrant Zesty Tangerine, Beet, and Carrot Salad
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the beets tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45 minutes until they're tender and easily pierced with a fork. Once done, let them cool, peel, and slice.
  2. Grate the carrots while the beets are roasting. Wash and grate the carrots into long, thin strands for a delightful crunch. Feel free to mix in different colored carrots for extra flair!
  3. Peel the tangerines and separate them into segments. Be sure to check for any seeds to ensure a smooth, juicy bite in your salad.
  4. Whisk together the dressing by combining the extra virgin olive oil, aged balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. This zesty mixture will elevate your salad to the next level!
  5. Combine the roasted beet wedges, grated carrots, and tangerine segments in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to mix all the vibrant flavors together.
  6. Serve the salad either in individual plates or a large bowl. For an added touch, garnish with fresh herbs like mint or cilantro if you prefer a hint of freshness.
