Roasted Beet Salad is made with two types of seasonal beets -it's a fresh and light side salad that's healthy, flavorful and chock full feel good nutrients!
Okay, you may be thinking roasted what? For some people beets are a foreign creature. What kind of dish do you put beets in? What are they anyway? I really feel like beets are overlooked gems and should be devoured whenever possible. Beet are a herbaceous plant that deliver a full profile of vitamins and minerals to the table. My Roasted Beet Salad is a showcase for this tasty garden root.
Beets are full of folate, manganese, and potassium, and they’re an awesome source of a phytonutrient called Betanin which serves as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and detoxifier. That’s a lot of goodness coming out of one root!
Big flavors unite in this hearty yet lightweight salad (yes, that’s possible!) The earthy flavor of beets mingles well with the amazing nutty flavor of arugula. Mix these veggies with a fresh splash of tomato and strong-willed feta? Well that’s bellissimo!
Seriously. Nothing screams spring like a fresh salad chock full of color, nutrients and pizazz.
