Ingredients:  
3 large beets (red or golden)
1 head garlic (8-9 cloves)
1/2 cup walnuts, raw
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 orange, juiced (about 1/2 cup)
Directions:
Directions:
1. Scrub beets. Fill a large pot of water on the stove and place beets inside so they’re fully submerged. Heat until boiling. Simmer for approximately 1 hour (or until fork pierces the beet easily).

2. Meanwhile, prepare sauce: Peel garlic. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized skillet. When hot, place garlic in pan and cook until lightly browned on one side, about 2 minutes.

3. Flip garlic and add walnuts. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until garlic is browned on all edges and walnuts are fragrant and turning a darker shade of brown. Keep a close eye; both burn easily. When the garlic and walnuts are done, set aside and cool completely.

4. After 10 minutes of cooling, add walnuts and garlic (and all oil) into a food processor with the juice of an orange. Blend until fairly smooth, with a few walnut chunks for texture.

5. When beets are fully cooked, drain the water and in a colander. Rinse with cool water until you’re able to handle the beet; then peel off all the layers. Chop beets into bite-sized pieces and cover with dressing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
