Dracula's Beet And Orange Salad

Recipe Ingredients

4 lbs	1816g / 64oz	Trimmed beets (without tops) - unpeeled
1 tablespoon	15ml	Red wine vinegar
12		Oranges - rind and pith cut
		Free with a serrated knife and sections
		Cut away from the membranes
1 teaspoon	5ml	Freshly-grated orange zest
1/3 cup	78ml	Fresh orange juice
1/4 cup	49g / 1.7oz	Sugar
1/2 cup	118ml	Distilled vinegar
1/2 cup	118ml	Extra-virgin olive oil
		Kosher salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
2		Red onions - thinly sliced
		Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley - for garnish

Recipe Instructions

In a pot, combine the beets with the red wine vinegar and enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until tender, about 40 minutes. Drain the beets and let them cool. (The beets may be cooked 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.) Peel the beets and cut them into 1-inch wedges.

In a small saucepan, combine zest, orange juice, sugar, and vinegar and boil the mixture until it is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Let the mixture cool.

In a large bowl, whisk together the orange mixture, oil, and salt and pepper to form a smooth dressing. Add the beet slices, orange segments, and onion and mix until well combined. Let stand at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 6 hours, to let the flavors come together. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the parsley.

This recipe yields about 8 servings.
