Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place beets in a small casserole and roast until very tender, 1 to 1 ½ hours. Let cool, then peel off skin, trim ends and cut into ½-inch cubes. Place in a large serving bowl.
- Step 2
When beets are almost finished cooking, put some water in a large steamer and bring to a boil. Add cauliflower and steam until tender but still slightly crisp. Add cauliflower to beets in serving bowl.
- Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, orange zest, vinegar, ginger, mustard and a large pinch of salt. Add olive oil a few drops at a time, whisking vigorously to emulsify. Season to taste with salt.
- Step 4
Pour dressing over cauliflower and beets. Toss well to coat. Just before serving, add watercress and toss until evenly dispersed.

It would be helpful to have a photo of this dish. I can't imagine it as the beets surely destroy the cauliflower. Does it look a slimy pink? A beautiful Rose>?
Meh. I can't see what roasting the beets did that boiling wouldn't do twice as fast. The flavors were nothing special. Couldn't really taste the ginger.
