How to Prepare Orange Bean and Beet Salad [Vegan]

Cut up the beet, onion and dill. Mix them in a salad bowl with the beans and capers.
Juice an orange and whisk in the cumin, salt, and pepper, if using any. Pour this over the veggies and toss.
You can serve this salad immediately but I like to leave it in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors mingle and the acid in the orange juice marinate the beans and beets.
