2 medium beets, trimmed and scrubbed
olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
2 navel oranges, peel zested and fruit sectioned
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed in a mortar and pestle
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup walnut oil
1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
1 head red leaf lettuce, rinsed, dried, and torn into pieces

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lay the beets on one half of a large piece of aluminum foil. Sprinkle with olive oil and season with salt. Fold the foil in half to make a packet and roll the edges to seal. Lay on a baking sheet, and roast until tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool. Peel the beets, and slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
2
Zest one orange -- you need 1 teaspoon grated zest. Using a very sharp knife, cut the ends from the oranges, slicing just deep enough to expose the flesh. Cut off the remaining peel and pith. Then, working over a bowl, remove the segments, cutting between the membrane.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the shallot, orange zest, fennel seeds, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually whisk in the walnut oil. Adjust seasoning.
4
In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, beets, and walnuts. Drain the orange sections and add them to the salad. Pour in the dressing and toss to mix. Adjust seasoning.
