This recipe features our Spiced Sweet Pickled Beets, these are pickled in a slightly sweet brine flavored with a touch of clove, allspice and pepper flake that adds a bit of zing to their earthy flavor. This brine is the perfect balance for an easy vinaigrette. We combine a bit of brine with a tablespoon of Lusty Monk Whole Grain Mustard and a spoonful of Cherry Plum Preserves which helps give the vinaigrette body and aids in emulsification with olive oil. The result is a tasty sweet and sour dressing that goes perfectly with the salad components.
This is the perfect salad at the end of winter to brighten up your day. It's the best season for citrus fruit and the mini mandarin oranges that hit the markets this time of year are a staple in our house.
