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!

Beet & Orange Salad
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- ½ teaspoon grated ginger
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 oz package, 1½ cups steamed and peeled beets, chopped
- 1 large or 2 medium naval oranges, peeled and chopped
- ½ large avocado, diced
- 3 tablespoons pistachios, chopped
- Microgreens, optional
Instructions
- For the dressing, add orange juice, zest, ginger and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. While continuing to whisk, drizzle in olive oil until the dressing comes together. Set aside.
- For the salad, layer the salad starting with the beets, then oranges and finally the avocado. Sprinkle with pistachios. Drizzle on Orange Ginger Vinaigrette and finish with a handful of microgreens (optional) to serve.
