"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

This is just a salad that I started preparing after having eaten one in a restaurant and wished to try to approximate it at home. So simple. I think it does rely on freshly cooked beets and good oranges in season. To cook beets, just remove long green stems, scrub and put in pan with water almost covering them. Bring to boil, turn down and simmer until tender--about 30-60 min., all depending on how young beets are. Remove from water, let cool, and slice. Vinaigrette is just standard method, whisking oil into lemon juice. If you think lemon is too tangy, you could use a combination of apple cider vinegar/lemon juice.
