- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

- 2 oranges -- 1 zested and juiced 1 peeled and sectioned

- Zest and juice on orange into a bowl. Add vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and whisk to blend. Adjust seasonings.
- Peel the other orange down to the flesh, removing all pith and cut into slices.
- Arrange a bed of using 1 cup of mixed greens. Top with 1/4 of the red onion, orange slices, and roasted beets. Drizzle with dressing and top with 1/4 of the walnuts. Repeat with each of the additional plates.
