Arrange the beets and oranges on top of the arugula in an alternating pattern and drizzle on the remaining dressing. Top with the cilantro and walnuts, and serve.

Put them in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer until fork tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Drain.
• When cool enough to handle, trim, and peel the beets. Slice into rounds and toss in a medium bowl with the onion.
• In a small saucepan bring the sugar, vinegar, water, and salt to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt and immediately pour over the beets and onion. Refrigerate overnight before serving.

Steps:

• Place the beets in a saucepan and cover with water. Add cloves, allspice, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender throughout. Let cool in the cooking liquid.
• Remove the beets and peel them. Slice the beets and place them in a mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar, parsley and onion. Toss well to blend and serve.

Steps:

Steps:

• Combine the onion, vinegar, and a couple of pinches of salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• If using baby beets, leave the skin on but halve or quarter them as needed so that they're all about 1 inch thick. If using medium or large beets, peel and cut into 1-inch chunks.
• Fit a steamer basket in a large pot, add water just to the bottom of the basket, and arrange the beets in a snug single layer. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to maintain a vigorous simmer. Cook until the beets are completely tender when pierced with a skewer, about 30 minutes. (Keep an eye on the water level during cooking, and add more if it threatens to dry up.) Remove from the heat and let cool. If you're using baby beets, slip the skins off as soon as they're cool enough to handle.
• Reserving the liquid, remove the onion from the vinegar and add to the beets. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, mustard, honey, 1 tablespoon of the reserved vinegar, and a few big pinches of salt.
• Add the dressing, the parsley, and all but 2 tablespoons of the feta to the beets. Toss well and taste; season with more salt or vinegar as needed. Garnish with a sprinkling of the remaining feta on top.
• Note
• The beautiful hue of beets will stain your hands and clothes. Wear gloves and an apron if pink isn't your color!
• Tip
• Use any color beets you have available; if you choose to use both golden and red beets, toss them with the dressing separately to keep the red beets from staining the yellow ones.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wrap beets in parchment-lined foil. Roast until tender, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, drizzle onions with oil, tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast, turning once, until golden brown and tender, about 45 minutes.
• Remove skins from beets; cut beets in half if large and leave whole if small. Toss beets with 1/2 cup vinaigrette and the herbs. Arrange onions on a platter. Drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Top with beets; garnish with oregano flowers.

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar, mustard, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, then add 3 tablespoons oil in a slow stream, whisking until combined well.
• Cook onions with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Add onions to dressing, then add beets and cheese, stirring gently to combine. Serve sprinkled with pine nuts.
