Servings: persons

2 large beets, washed but not peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
coarse salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
4 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 oranges, preferably navel, peeled and separated into segments (can sub blood oranges or tangerines)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped mint leaf
3 teaspoons minced shallots
1 cup french feta cheese (can sub blue cheese or goat cheese) or 1 cup Greek feta cheese, crumbled into large pieces (can sub blue cheese or goat cheese)

1
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F.
2
In a bowl, toss the beets with the olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Put the beets on a roasting pan and cover them with foil. Roast in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (They are done when a sharp, thin-bladed knife can easily pierce through to their center.) Remove the pan from the oven, remove the beets from the pan and set them aside to cool.
3
While the beets are roasting, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
4
When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and cut them into 1/2-inch dice. Put them in a bowl with 1 cup of the orange segments, the mint and the shallots. Add the vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper and toss gently.
5
Transfer the salad to a platter. Arrange the cheese and the remaining orange sections on top. Serve.
