APPETIZER BITES: Make many small skewers of meat and serve with the salad in a cocktail glass or on a bread and butter plate for tapas-style dining. The salad includes vegetables and fruits rich in Vitamin C with your meals to boost iron absorption. The oranges, grapes, beets and pomegranate juice in this recipe are clever food combos that do just that. BONUS: These ingredients provide powerful antioxidants too.
Whisk pomegranate juice, oil, maple syrup, vinegar, mustard and orange zest in large bowl. Remove 1/4 cup (50 mL) of dressing to shallow container; stir in rosemary and add beef strips, tossing to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
Meanwhile working over large bowl with dressing, cut oranges into segments, letting any juice release into dressing. Add segments, grapes and beets to dressing; toss to coat.
Thread beef strips onto 16 skewers. Broil or grill until just pink in the centre, about 4 minutes per side. Gently toss greens with dressing mixture and almonds. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
