Ingredients

1½ lbs red beets
1½ lbs wild blueberries frozen
¼ cup white sugar
⅓ cup olive oil
¼ cup white wine vinegar
½ tsp coarse sea salt
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
1 orange segmented
2 tbsp chopped chives
½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Scrub beets. In a medium pot, add water to cover the beets and cook for approximately 1 hour. To check for doneness, insert a knife into a beet and check to see if it comes out easily.
Cool the beets. Slip off the skins.
Cut into ¼ inch cubes and place into a large bowl.
Combine beets with sugar, white wine vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, freshly grated ginger, zest of one good sized orange, the orange segments, chives and wild blueberries.
Toss delicately and set for at least an hour.
Top with grated orange peel and sea salt.
