This easy orange beet salad recipe is so bright and delicious, lovely served as a side dish or light lunch. Perfect for brunch or dinner, during summer or winter!
Sometimes the most delicious salads don’t even include lettuce, or any leafy greens, for that matter. My Cucumber Tomato Salad, Beet and Cucumber Salad, and this Orange Beet Salad are all perfect examples of that.
This Orange Beet Salad is so simple, with only a few main ingredients, but packs so much flavor and texture, plus isn’t it beautiful?? Lovely enough for any dinner party, but assembled in only 15 minutes for a super easy lunch or weeknight side dish.

The sweet oranges and beets, combined with salty feta and crunchy walnuts, drizzled with a honey mustard dressing is out of this world delicious. Give it a try!
