Grilled Beet Charred Citrus Salad Recipe Foodcom

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium high heat; thoroughly clean grates and brush with oil. Grill whole, unpeeled beets, covered, turning every 10 minutes, until tender and a skewer or cake tester can easily slide into the center, 40-50 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap and let steam for 30 minutes. Using a paper towel, rub beet to remove skin (it should slip off easily, wear gloves to avoid staining your hands). Trim root end and cut beets into wedges.
• Meanwhile, grill oranges and lemons, turning once, until fruit is caramelized and peel is charred, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Toss beets with a squeeze of the grilled citrus, a drizzle of olive oil, some flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Top with mint, chives and toasted sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Mix dressing ingredients together well and put in refrigerator.
• I use some or all of the ingredients below depending on my mood! They all go well with the dressing!
• •Chopped red onion (about a tablespoon).
• •Chop up the orange reserved from the dressing.
• •Small can mandarin oranges.
• •Feta cheese
• •Chopped glazed walnuts (a small handful).
• •Small tart apple chopped (squeeze some lemon juice on apple after chopping to keep from browning).

• •Chopped Craisins® (The orange flavored ones are great).
• •Chopped green onion (1 or 2 stocks).
• •Avocado (best if you don't use the feta).
• •Chopped carrots (3 or 4 baby carrots).

Steps:

• Add the segments and juice of the orange and grapefruit to a bowl.

Steps:
