Country of origin: Mexico

1 can beets
2 pomegranates
1 red apple
2 bananas
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 head romaine lettuce
1 small jícama
2 oranges
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
1/2 cup orange juice

Drain and rinse beets in cold water. Cut the tops off the pomegranates and cut fruit into quarters. Place in a bowl of cold water and separate seeds from the membranes. Drain seeds and pat dry. Dip the thinly sliced apple and banana in the lime juice to prevent discoloration. Do not peel apple. Line a shallow salad bowl with six lettuce leaves. Shred the remaining lettuce and place on top of the leaves. Arrange the beet slices, peeled and sliced jícama, orange sections, apples and bananas in a decorative pattern over the lettuce. Sprinkle with the peanuts and top with the pomegranate seeds. Just before serving, drizzle orange juice over the salad
