What You Will Need Portions: 6

• 3 red beetroots
• 3 golden beetroots
• 3 grapefruits
• 3 mandarin oranges
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• ⅛ teaspoon of Liquid Stevia
• 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon of sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 6 cups of fresh Baby Arugula
• ¼ cup of chopped pistachios

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Begin by setting your oven to 350 degrees F. After trimming, washing, and placing your beetroots in an 8×8 casserole dish with ¼ cup of water, cover them with aluminum foil. Allow them to bake for an hour or until they’ve softened, then take them out of the oven, uncover, and set them aside to cool completely. Once cooled, you can peel the beets and slice them into wedges.
2. Next, slice off the top and bottom of each grapefruit, and carefully remove the peel along with the white pith. Now, slice the grapefruits into segments, taking care to peel away the membrane from each slice. Make sure to save ¼ cup of the grapefruit juice for later.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, Liquid Stevia, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, and the ¼ cup of reserved grapefruit juice you set aside earlier. Once thoroughly mixed, add in the beet and grapefruit wedges, ensuring they are well-coated in the dressing.
4. To assemble your salad, lay out the fresh baby arugula on a serving platter. Add the dressed beet and grapefruit mixture on top, and finish it off with a generous sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
