Place beets onto a sheet of parchment paper-lined foil; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap to enclose. Roast until tender, 45 to 55 minutes. Allow beets to cool. Rub cooled beets with paper towels to remove skins. Reserve half a peeled beet, cutting the rest into 3/4-inch pieces; set aside. Using a paring knife, remove peel, pith, and outer membranes from oranges. Working over a medium bowl to catch juices, carefully cut out each segment between membranes. Squeeze membrane to extract juice; discard. Set aside 1/4 cup juice, reserving the rest for another use. In a blender jar, combine reserved half beet, reserved orange juice, red-wine vinegar, salt, and pepper; puree until smooth. With blender on, add canola oil, and process until combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons parsley. Place lettuce, endive, watercress, chopped beets, oranges, and remaining parsley on a large platter. Just before serving, add vinaigrette; toss to combine. Garnish with ricotta salata, and serve. Rate it Print
