Notes
Add the dressing when you are ready to serve it. If you add the dressing too early, the greens may wilt. The dressing can be stored separately in the fridge for 1 - 2 days.
Use ripe and fresh ingredients. This simple salad is all about flavor so use the best ingredients.
Do not add piping hot beets to the salad. Greens and oranges might wilt and turn bitter.
