Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to a toasty 375 degrees.
  2. Wrap and Bake:

    • Wrap the beet snugly in foil, ensuring a tight seal.
    • Place the foil-wrapped beets on a foil-lined baking dish.
    • Bake for 1 – 1 1/4 hours, letting the beets soak up that delightful heat.
  3. Steam and Peel:

    • Keep the beet packages on the baking dish and crack open a corner to release steam. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
    • Carefully open the foil more, allowing the beets to cool for an additional 5-10 minutes until easily handled.
    • Glide your fingers over the beets’ surface, and watch the skin peel away effortlessly.
  4. Prepare Oranges:

    • Peel two oranges, removing all that white pith. Separate the peeled oranges into lovely segments. Set aside.
    • Squeeze the juice from the remaining orange, set it aside for a citrusy twist.
  5. Walnut Magic:

    • In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon walnut oil, sugar, salt, and pepper.
    • Toss in the walnuts, ensuring they are coated in this delectable mixture.
    • Spread the coated walnuts on a baking dish and bake for 5-7 minutes until they’re hot to the touch and emit that irresistible nutty aroma. Let them cool, then coarsely chop.
  6. Create the Vinaigrette:

    • In another bowl, combine orange juice, olive oil, the remaining walnut oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.
    • Toss the romaine lettuce with three-quarters of the vinaigrette, creating a bed of greens on a platter.
  7. Assemble the Salad:

    • Toss the beets with the remaining vinaigrette.
    • Top the bed of greens with a layer of these beautifully dressed beets.
  8. Garnish:

    • Decoratively arrange the orange wedges around the beet mound, adding a burst of citrusy freshness.
    • Sprinkle the coarsely chopped, seasoned nuts over the entire masterpiece.
  9. Serve and Enjoy:
