INSTRUCTIONS
In a kettle combine the beets with enough cold water to cover them by 2
inches, bring the water to a boil, and simmer the beets removing the small
ones as they are done, for 40 to 50 minutes, or until they are tender.
Drain the beets and let them cool. The beets may be cooked 1 day in advance
and kept covered and chilled. Peel the beets and cut them into 1-inch
wedges.
In a small saucepan combine zest, the orange juice, the sugar, the vinegar,
and the bay leaf and boil the mixture until it is reduced to about 1/4 cup.
Discard the bay leaf and let the mixture cool. In a large bowl whisk
together the orange mixture, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste until
the dressing is emulsified, add the beets and the onion, and combine the
salad well.
Serves 12.
