Make the Vinaigrette
- Combine olive oil, white wine vinegar, dijon mustard, orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, salt and black pepper in a small jar. Shake well to fully combine all the ingredients.
Assemble the Salad
- Place the avocado, pickled beets, radishes, red onions, and mandarin oranges in a bowl. Add the dressing and toss together to mix with the vinaigrette. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

- Let it sit for up to 20 minutes before serving to give the dressing time to soak into all the veggies.
- Don't mix the salad together too far in advance. The beets bleed so the salad doesn't hold up so great when made ahead.
- Make your beet salad with canned beets to save some time, though I am a huge fan of these no sugar pickled beets.
- Use fresh orange juice, lemon juice, and mandarin oranges whenever possible for the BEST flavor.
