For the dressing, combine orange juice, orange zest, honey, vinegar, Dijon mustard and olive oil in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Chill until serving time.

Wrap the beets in foil. Roast at 350 degrees for 1 1/4 hours or until tender. Cool to room temperature; peel and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Chill for up to 2 days at this point if desired.
