The star of this salad is undoubtedly the roasted beets, which become tender and sweet as they caramelize in the oven.

A hint of anise from the thinly shaved fennel adds an unexpected twist, while the freshness of arugula and vine-ripened tomatoes rounds out the dish perfectly.

This salad is a feast for the senses; the vivid hues of golden and red beets contrasted against the bright green arugula will impress anyone at your table. The homemade dressing, made with grapeseed oil, honey, and sherry vinegar, ties all the ingredients together with a delightful frothy finish.
