* Beet and Orange Salad With Citrus Vinaigrette
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt®
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 medium beets, stems trimmed to 1 inch

Cut off top and bottom of orange. Setting orange on one of its cut sides on your work surface, slice off peel in strips, letting knife follow the curve of the fruit. Cut orange crosswise into 8 slices.
To assemble: Line 4 salad plates with lettuce. On each plate, arrange 6 beet slices and 2 orange slices on top of lettuce. Sprinkle each with a quarter of the onions.
For dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together orange and lemon juices, vinegar, salt, and pepper until salt dissolves. Whisk in oil and add zest. Spoon dressing over the salad. Serve immediately.
