INGREDIENTS

1/4 c Diced shallots
1/4 c Balsamic vinegar
1/4 c Blood orange OR tangerine
juice
1 t Dijon mustard
1/2 c Olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 Mixed beets, such as gold
red chiogga both
full-sized and baby
4 Mandarin oranges, or other
seasonal tangerines
4 Blood oranges
6 Heads frisee, a bitter
lettuce
1/2 Mint leaves, cut into
ribbon/chiffonade

INSTRUCTIONS

DRESSING : Place shallots in a small bowl with vinegar, juice,
mustard, salt and pepper. Let stand for 10-15 minutes.  If using a
blender, strain out the shallots, place remaining mixture  in blender,
turn on low and slowly drizzle oil in to emulsify. Add the  shallots
back into the mixture and reserve.  If making dressing by hand, whisk
oil in slowly until all is  emulsified. (Dressing will separate more
easily if blended by hand).  SALAD : Lightly oil beets, season with
salt and pepper and roast  (separate by size). Baby beets will take
15-20 minutes at 350  degrees; bigger beets will take 30-40 minutes.
When tender allow to  cool and peel by rubbing with a towel. Cut into
bite-size pieces.  Section tangerines and oranges. Clean frisee (white
or "blanched"  part is what you want to use) and place in a bowl. Dress
cleaned  frisee with 2-3 tablespoons of vinaigrette and divide between
6 to 8  plates. Top with roasted beets, sprinkle with sectioned
tangerines  and oranges, drizzle with a tiny bit more vinaigrette and
shower with  sliced mint leaves.  Allow one beet per serving.
