Scale
For the Salad:

- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ball of burrata cheese
- 1 large orange, segmented
- ¼ cup toasted pistachios, roughly chopped
For the Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon orange juice (from the segmented orange)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 pinch of salt and black pepper
Optional Garnishes:

Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Beets and Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the cubed beets and sweet potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized. Let cool slightly.
Step 2: Segment the Orange
- Use a sharp knife to remove the orange peel and white pith.
- Hold the orange over a bowl to catch the juice, then carefully cut between the membranes to release the segments.
- Set the segments aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of juice for the dressing.
Step 3: Prepare the Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside.
Step 4: Toast the Pistachios
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pistachios for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and roughly chop.
Step 5: Assemble the Salad
- On a serving platter, spread the roasted beets and sweet potatoes.
- Nestle the burrata in the center or tear it into smaller pieces around the vegetables.
- Arrange the orange segments on top.
- Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
Step 6: Add the Final Touches
- Sprinkle the toasted pistachios over the salad for crunch.
- Garnish with fresh arugula or microgreens for color and freshness.
- Optionally, drizzle with balsamic glaze for a sweet-tangy finish.
