Beetroot citrus salad

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion - sliced
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 beetroot
• 3 tbsps almond - toasted
• 3 packed cups of Italian greens
• 1 orange - peeled and separated into segments
• For dressing ~
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp orange juice
• 1 tsp honey
• 2 tbsps olive oil
• Salt - as needed

Preparation

• 1. Fry onions in a skillet until it starts browning. Turn heat off and add in balsamic vinegar. Mix and set aside. (I stole this idea from an episode of Giada de Laurentiis', Giada at Home.)
  
  2. Microwave whole beetroot in a little bit of water for about 5 mins. Microwave for longer if you like it a little more tender. Cool, then peel and cut into wedges.
  
  3. Make dressing by whisking together all the dressing ingredients.
  
  4. Assemble salad - i.e. greens, beetroot wedges, orange segments, and onions - in a bowl. Just before serving, drizzle on dressing and top with toasted almonds.
