Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap the 2 beets in foil and roast until fork-tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel and slice into thin rounds.

  2. Step 2

    While beets roast, segment the 2 oranges: cut off the peel and pith, then slice into rounds. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp orange juice, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper to make the dressing.

  4. Step 4

    In a large bowl, toss the 4 cups lettuce with half the dressing until lightly coated. Arrange on a platter.

  5. Step 5

    Top the lettuce with the roasted beet slices and orange rounds. Drizzle with remaining dressing and sprinkle with 0.25 cup chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
