Blood Orange and Roasted Beet Salad

Bright and fresh, this Blood Orange and Roasted Beet Salad recipe is a cinch to put together and can be prepped in advance. Just roast the beets a day or two ahead and assemble the salad when ready to serve. Slices of juicy blood oranges and roasted beets are layered on top of creamy labneh cheese and finished with a homemade orange-balsamic vinaigrette, fresh parsley, and crunchy pistachios. Colorful and luscious, this salad is a feast for the taste buds.

If you can’t find labneh, you can make your own. Combine 2 cups plain full-fat yogurt with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt in a small bowl. Scrape the mixture into a colander lined with cheesecloth and tie the cheesecloth on the top. Place the colander over a larger bowl and let the yogurt drain in the refrigerator overnight or up to 48 hours. 2 cups of full-fat yogurt will yield about 1 cup of labneh.

To make the Blood Orange and Roasted Beet Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
