~ Beets with a Cranberry Orange Vinaigrette ~

My kids gobble up beets when I make them like this. You can use any kind of beet, I love golden beets but some of my kids like the traditional red beet. The first time I made this I didn't have enough to go around so now I make a double batch for the six of us.
