  • 2 avocados
  • 6 cups arugula
  • ½ cup pistachios

Citrus Vinaigrette

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ orange juiced
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • For the beets: Cut off beet leaves at the bottom of the stems. Place the beets into a large pot and fill with water until the beets are fully covered. On the stove, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 30 minutes. Once you can pierce the beets with a fork, remove from the heat and run under cold water. When cooled, remove the peel from all the beets.
  • Peel and separate the orange slices, then chop into bite-sized pieces. Cut or slice avocados as desired.
  • Prepare the salad in one large bowl or four small bowls - arugula, beets, oranges, avocados, and pistachios.

Citrus Dressing

  • Add all of the ingredients to a mason jar, cover, and shake to combine. Adjust to your liking.
  • Drizzle dressing over salad and enjoy!
