Beet and Orange Salad with Citrus-Cumin Vinaigrette
I don’t know about you, but I chose my vacation locations based on whether or not they have an Anthropologie store. I could spend hours just perusing their kitchenware and their books. All of their books, but mainly their cookbooks. The Nashville store is where I found, Fresh Happy Tasty: An Adventure in 100 Recipes
definitely the best name for a cookbook ever.

Now, in the book the salad is shown with golden beets and blood oranges, which makes for a way more attractive salad. First of all I had purple beets, which lovingly spread their purpleness to my hands, face and all over the oranges. I was also supposed to julienne the beets, but my new fancy mandoline hadn’t arrived in the mail yet, so I used the shredder dish from my food processor. So, even with all these caveats that I have thrown at this recipe, it was still wonderful. A fresh, tasty, happy salad.

HA. When Paul and I higher a babysitter, it's usually to go to the bookstore. Not a movie or dinner. Nope. The bookstore. I can sit in the cookbook section for 3 hours, uninterrupted. Bliss. I love Anthropologie, although usually throw their catalogs out immediately because I can't afford anything in them!

I never think to blend both oranges and beets. I can just imagine how refreshing this salad is. The vinaigrette lifts it to healthy goodness!
