For the Beets:

  • 4 medium-large golden beets trimmed and scrubbed
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil

For the Oregano Vinaigrette:

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar

  • For the Oregano Vinaigrette: In a small mason jar add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano and salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds.
  • To Assemble: Thinly slice beets. Arrange the beets in concentric circles on a large serving platter. Drizzle with the oregano vinaigrette and cotija. Garnish with additional oregano leaves.
