Directions

Preheat oven to 425ºF.
In a bowl, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the beets and toss to coat.
Spread the beets in a single layer on a cookie sheet and roast in the oven, turning halfway through, until slightly browned; about 5 minutes, total.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
Meanwhile, combine all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette.
Mix well.
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the beets and tangerines and pour the vinaigrette over the top.
Toss gently and serve over arugula or mixed greens.

Recipe Note

I like to garnish this salad with a little crumbled bleu cheese or goat cheese.
