A TANGERINE, BEET, AND CARROT SALAD TO CURE THE WINTER BLUES

Steps:

• Scrub the beets well and cook them whole in plenty of hot water for about 20 minutes, or, until fork-tender. Add the stems and the leaves during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking. Remove the stems and leaves and reserve them for another recipe (see note, below) and cut the beets into small wedges.
• Prepare the rest of the salad ingredients. Shred the carrots, crumble the goat cheese and toast some hazelnuts. Set them all aside.
• Pour the olive oil and the rest of the ingredients for the dressing into a small jar with a lid. Shake the jar well until everything is thoroughly emulsified.
• Take a deep salad bowl and spread the arugula on the bottom and sides, then top with some of the tangerine discs. Top off with more arugula. Arrange the beets in the center of the salad and the shredded carrots around the beets. Place a few more tangerine discs in the center and then crumble the goat cheese all over the salad. Lastly, sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the entire salad.
• Shake the salad dressing one more time and drizzle it over the salad. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Place the bowl in the middle of the table and have everyone help themselves, perhaps with some more dressing on the side.

CELERY ROOT, CARROT AND BEET SALAD

Steps:

• For vinaigrette:
• Whisk first 6 ingredients in small bowl. Add oil and whisk to blend well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature before using.)
• For salad:
• Cook celery root and carrots in pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to medium bowl. Add beets to pot and cook 5 minutes. Drain beets; transfer to another medium bowl. Cool vegetables.
• Toss greens in large bowl with enough vinaigrette to coat. Toss celery root and carrots with enough vinaigrette to coat. Toss beets with enough vinaigrette to coat. Spoon vegetables over greens. Sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts and crumbled goat cheese, if desired.

GRATED CARROT AND (RAW) BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Trim, peel, and grate the carrots and beets. (If you own a food processor with a grater attachment, yay for you!)
• Place the rest of the main ingredients, from garlic to black pepper, in a large salad bowl, add the grated carrots and beets, and toss until well combined.
• Add any desired add-ins and toss again.
• Taste, adjust the seasoning, and let stand for 30 minutes, if you can, before serving: the beets and carrots will render juices that will make the salad moister.
• If you don't have that kind of time and the salad does not feel quite moist enough, add a dash of citrus juice, tomato juice, or any sort of juice that may currently reside in the refrigerator door.
