Baby Beet Salad With Oranges And Red Onion

The education of children for God is the most important business done on earth. It is the one business for which the earth exists. To it all politics, all war, all literature, all money making ought to be subordinated; and every parent especially ought to feel, every hour of the day, that next to making his own calling and election sure, this is the end for which he is kept alive by God- this is his task on earth.

		oranges
1/4		Red onion, cut in half
		Lengthwise and thinly sliced
10		Mint leaves, coarsely

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the beets, unpeeled, in a foil-lined baking dish. Cover with
more foil and seal the edges of the top and bottom layers of foil to
completely enclose the beets. Place them in a 400 degree oven and  bake
for approximately 20 minutes or until the beets are tender when
pierced with a sharp paring knife.  While the beets are baking peel the
oranges. First cut a thin slice  from the top and bottom of the orange
so that it can sit firmly on the  countertop. Using a sharp paring
knife cut the peel and pith off with  sawing downward strokes so that
the orange is completely peeled. Cut  the individual sections out from
the membranes. Place in a mixing  bowl together with the onion and
mint.  When the beets are tender hold them under running water and slip
the  skins off. Trim the stem end, then cut them in half and then into
slices. Add the beet slices to the bowl with the oranges. Season with
salt and pepper to taste than drizzle the orange olive oil over to
taste. Toss to mix. Can be served immediately or allowed to marinate
up to 2 days. NOTES : Insalata di Barbabietole
