Fall is coming in hard and fast, but I don’t mind. Changing seasons means new flavors and ingredients get more prominent shelf space and kitchen inspiration is renewed. This Beet & Orange Salad is a take on a fall and winter salad I’ve seen popping up on more and more restaurant menus.

As such, I decided to plate it that way. The beauty of leaving white space on the plate makes it look restaurant quality – and the flavor is outrageously delicious, too – but I picked up everything needed to make this salad at Trader Joe’s, meaning it’s affordable and approachable. It’s also Whole30 compatible, too!
