This healthy salad stars a classic restaurant dish combination of shaved fennel bulb, fresh orange slices, and roasted beets, with a bright citrus mint vinaigrette to bring it all together. It's so fresh and flavorful!

Notes
I like to roast beets and keep them on hand in the fridge for salads like this. To cook in the oven, wrap individually in foil, then roast at 400 for 60-70 minutes, until fork tender. You can also pressure cook them in the instant pot!
