QUINOA, BEET, AND ARUGULA SALAD
Quinoa has a light, fluffy texture when cooked, and can be used as an alternative to white rice or couscous in most dishes. The arugula has a rich peppery taste, and has an exceptionally strong flavor for a leafy green which goes well with the slightly nutty flavor of the quinoa.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wrap beet tightly in parchment paper-lined aluminum foil; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 45 to 50 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub off skins, using paper towels to keep your hands from staining. Cut into wedges.
- Meanwhile, prepare oranges; Slice off both ends of each with a paring knife. Cut away the peel and white pith, following the curve of the fruit. Holding the fruit over a bowl, cut along membranes to release whole segments. Squeeze juice from membranes into another bowl, and add any accumulated juice from the segments.
- Add oil, vinegar, and mustard to orange juice; season with salt and pepper, and whisk to combine. Add arugula, and toss to coat with dressing. Divide arugula among four plates. Top with beet wedges, orange segments, and goat cheese. Serve immediately.

WILD ARUGULA AND BEET SALAD WITH ORANGE, WALNUTS AND TARRAGON
This is a salad filled with contrasting sweet and peppery flavors. Pungent wild arugula contrasts beautifully with sweet beets, anisy tarragon and juicy oranges. If you can find purslane, it makes a great addition to the salad, with its earthy flavor and almost juicy, delicate crunch. You can use a mix of colors for the beets. I roasted golden and red beets together, and the red beets bled into the outside layer of the golden beets, making their color striking in the salad.

BEET AND ARUGULA SALAD WITH BERRIES
Berries and beets: a salad of dark green, blue and purple hues if there ever was one. I threw this together because I had these ingredients on hand - beets that I'd roasted several days earlier, arugula that was bolting in my garden, and berries from the market - and it worked. The sweet-tart flavor of the berries contrasts beautifully with the earthy sweetness of the beets and the pungent arugula.

You'll convert even the most skeptical eaters who have always turned a nose to the wonderful world of beets with this salad topped with a citrus dressing over a bed of nutty arugula.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH TOASTED PINE NUTS AND ARUGULA
Steps:
- INSTRUCTIONS 1.Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss together the beets, cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large bowl. Wrap each beet separately in aluminum foil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook the beets until soft and easily pierced with a paring knife or skewer, about 1 hour. Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them by rubbing them with a paper towel-the skin should slide right off. Cut each beet into 6 or 8 wedges. 2. Toast the pine nuts in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until light golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a small bowl and set aside. 3. Process the remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil, sherry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper in a blender until fully emulsified, 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in the shallot and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Toss the beets with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette in a medium bowl. 4. Toss the arugula with the remaining vinaigrette in a large bowl. Divide the arugula equally among chilled salad plates and top with the beets. Sprinkle with the pine nuts and serve immediately.
Tips:
- When selecting beets, choose ones that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises.
- To roast the beets, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and toss the beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- To make the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- To assemble the salad, combine the roasted beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill for later.
Conclusion:
This beet and arugula salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The roasted beets are sweet and earthy, the arugula is peppery and fresh, and the goat cheese and walnuts add a creamy and nutty flavor. The dressing is light and tangy, and it perfectly complements the other ingredients. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared in advance.
