Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Aluminum foil
  • Salad Bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 medium beets (red, golden, and Chioggia) roasted or boiled
  • 2 cups arugula
  • ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
  • ¼ cup toasted walnuts
  • 2 tbsp crispy quinoa
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced radishes
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped

For the Citrus Vinaigrette

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Alternatively, boil the beets for 30-40 minutes until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Once cooked, allow them to cool, then peel and slice into wedges.
  • In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, sliced beets, goat cheese, walnuts, crispy quinoa, and radishes. Gently toss to mix the ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  • Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly. Garnish with fresh dill before serving.

Notes

If using different beet varieties, be mindful of their individual roasting times as they may vary slightly. Customize by substituting goat cheese with feta or leave it out for a dairy-free version.
