It’s easy to skip salads during the winter, since there aren’t many traditional salad ingredients (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, etc) in season. But thinking outside the box a little will lead you to all sorts of delicious salads that can be enjoyed during the chilliest months. This one is simple and incredibly flavorful. Not a fan of beets? Just leave them out and add more citrus fruits.

March 4, 2011 at 11:19 ami made a version of this last night. it was delicious. i used the citrus and beet mixture as a topping on an arugula salad dressed with a citrusy vinegrette. goat cheese crumbles and a few walnut pieces made a great addition. thanks for another great recipe idea!
