  • salt to taste

Dressing:

  • 2 tbsp champagne vinaigrette

Beets:

Wash and cut the stems off the beets, stick in a roasting pan with ¼ inch of water and cover with foil. Roast for 45 min, or until you can cut into beets with a knife easily. When cool enough to handle, peel the skin off and chop into bite sized pieces.

Peel and slice the oranges and grapefruits like a tomato.
