How to Make Citrus Beet Salad

Wash and trim 1 pound of beets. Add them to a large pot and cover with boiling water.
Simmer over medium heat for 35-40 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the center.
Remove beets from pot and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let cool completely.
Once cool enough to handle, peel and dice the beets into 1/2-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the diced beets with 1/2 cup of segmented tangerines, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Gently toss to combine all ingredients.
Top with 4 ounces of crumbled goat cheese and serve immediately or chill for later.
Enjoy!
