Ingredients
  

  • For the Dressing:
  • 1 orange juiced
  • 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh grated ginger
  • 1/4 tsp. tamari
  • 1 tbsp. minced scallion use the white part
  • pinch Sea salt to taste more to taste
  • For the Salad:
  • 3 small golden beets cleaned and sliced thin; or use 2 large golden beets
  • 1 avocado peeled, pitted and sliced width-wise to make round slices, if possible
  • 1 blood orange peeled and sliced, seeds removed
  • 1 heirloom tomato sliced into round slices
  • Liberal pinches of fennel pollen*
  • Curly endive, baby romaine, arugula and-or other decorative lettuce
  • Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a stove top griddle or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Brush the griddle or pan with oil, and grill the beet slices on both sides until they are slightly browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes on each side.
  • To make the dressing, blend all the dressing ingredients in a blender or using a wire whip.
  • To make the salads, arrange 4 plates with some decorative greens. Place a tomato slice or two, then avocado slices, then intermingle slices or segments of blood orange with the grilled beet slices. You can be fancy or just toss it together, as long as you enjoy the salad and all the flavors.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salads and make sure it covers a little bit of everything.
  • Finish it off with a couple pinches of fennel pollen sprinkled all over. Enjoy immediately.
