Preparation
First, prepare the beets
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Wash beets under cold water and cut off the top and bottom. Peel and cut beets into bite size pieces, toss with olive oil, then season with salt & pepper.
Line a baking pan with foil or parchment paper. Add beets. Roast in oven for 1 hour or until beets are tender when poked with a knife.
When done – set aside to cool.
Next, prepare the vinaigrette
In a jar with lid – add together the egg yolk, champagne vinegar, 1/3 cup juice of blood orange, shallots and EVOO. Shake vigorously to combine. Let dressing rest for 10 minutes so flavors will blend together. Strain through sieve into small bowl.
Place 1 tsp EVOO in a separate microwave safe bowl. Heat for 15 seconds.
*Optional: Add 12mg of a full spectrum cannabis oil to the heated oil and stir to combine. Add infused oil to the dressing and whisk to combine.
Now assemble the salad
In a medium bowl toss arugula with 1/2 cup of salad dressing. Add the cooled beets and toss again.
Divide the salad equally on to serving plates.
Add orange segments and pomegranate seeds. Place 2 oz burrata on top of each salad then drizzle a small amount of EVOO on top and finish with a pinch of salt and pepper.
And voila! Aloha and Happy New Year!
