One of the great things about summer cooking is how wonderfully light and healthful your dishes can be. I eat a lot of salads during the summer months and I'm always looking for something new, a nice departure from your standard green salads or heavy potato and macaroni salads. This one is positively fresh and light but full of good flavors. The Vinaigrette would make a perfect marinade as well for a good cut of beef. To add even more depth and flavor to the salad itself toss in a few dried currants or golden raisins.

The mixture of red wine vinegar, oranges and beets was wonderful with both sweet and tangy flavors. We really enjoyed this salad.
