    Ingredients and Substitutes

    Load your salad plate filled with delicious fresh vegetables. In terms of my diet, I always think of adding more leafy greens and texture to complete my meals. The "abundance mentality" has really helped me enjoy my food more!

    Beetroot Vegetable - opt for either golden beets or red beets. Both types of beets are delicious when baked fork tender.

    Turnip Radish - these small crimson skin turnips with white flesh are delish and peppery. It adds a pop of zing to salads.

    Figs - Fresh figs are milder in sweetness compared to dried figs. Both are delicious and add an elegant note to the salad.

    Tomatoes - any type of tomatoes will do. We love heirloom tomatoes, Roma tomatoes or cherry tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are brighter and zippier.

    Arugula - This leafy vegetable is part of the Brassicaceae family with fresh, bitter and peppery flavours. This cruciferous vegetable, a cousin of broccoli and kale is the perfect canvas for other ingredients with a more robust flavour profile.

    Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette - This delicious homemade vinaigrette comes together in 5 minutes, so skip the store-bought salad dressings! For THIS recipe, you just need simple ingredients like balsamic vinegar, fresh garlic clove, and extra virgin olive oil. 

    Sea Salt - a pinch of salt to taste.

    Maple Syrup - drizzle a little sweetness to enhance the flavour of this salad. Maple Syrup is vegan, while Honey is not. 

    Optional Ingredients and Salad Toppings

    Pine nuts or Candied Walnuts  

    Red Onion 

    Vegan Cheese or Dairy Soft Cheese such as feta cheese, blue cheese, fresh mozzarella or goat cheese

    Beets Health Benefits

    There are many reasons to include beetroot veggies in your diet. 

    • High in Fibre - Beets are high in fibre and promote good bacteria for gut health! Beets help improve digestion and reduce constipation.
    • Reduce Bad Cholesterol Levels - full of antioxidants and boost your immune system by reducing Bad Cholesterol and improving Good Cholesterol levels.
    • Help Treat Anemia - rich in iron help treats anemia.
    • Control Blood Sugar - consumption of beetroot juice helps suppress postprandial blog sugar levels.
    • Lower Blood Pressure - beets are rich in folate that maintains good heart health to keeps your blood pressure in check! 

    Instructions 

    Make-Ahead Tips

    The easiest way to prepare this salad is to meal prep ahead of time.

    Vegetables can be shredded, washed in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    The Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing can also be made in advance the night before. 

    How To Roast Beets Easy

    Roasted beets have an earthy sweetness that is perfect for salads. Use the quick and easy method to roast beets - no peeling is required.

    Pre-heat oven to 375F.

    Wash and pat dry beets with a kitchen paper towel.

    Slice the beet tops off. Cut the beets in half if your beets are too big.

    Add beets, olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt in a large bowl. Toss beets and evenly coat.

    Layer beets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Add ¼ inch of water to the pan.

    Place beets into the oven and roast for approximately 45 minutes or until the beets are fork tender. 

    Remove from oven and let rest.

    Once the beets cool to room temperature, place the beets under cold running water and slide the peels off.

    Pro Tip: Wear kitchen gloves to avoid staining your hands with beet juice.

    Using a sharp knife, quarter beets into wedges and place them into a large mixing bowl.

    Add lemon juice, a pinch of sea salt and extra virgin olive oil. Reserve.

    Storing Beets

    Roasted beets can be kept frozen in the freezer. Cube them to the desired size and pack them into a reusable food storage silicone bag. They will stay fresh for several months.

    ROASTED BEETS FIGS TOMATO SALAD

    Assemble the Best Beet Salad with Dried Figs, Tomato and Arugula

    Let's assemble the delicious arugula, beets and dried fig salad recipe by adding baby arugula, thinly sliced radishes and diced tomatoes to a large bowl.

    Our favourite Easy Balsamic Vinegar Salad Dressing is quick to make and calls for simple ingredients. This tangy dressing is amazingly delicious!

    When ready to mix up your arugula, fig and tomato salad, place beets on top and drizzle salad dressing onto the greens.

    Pro Tip: I recommend adding salad dressing to the serving bowl with just the right amount of salad. 

    Or serve the salad dressing in a small bowl as a side salad. This way, the salad will not get soggy and stay fresh and extra crunchy as leftovers in the fridge.

    Optional Add-Ons To Your Own Preferences

    I like adding thinly sliced red onions to add extra zip to the salad. 

    Experiment and top with plant-based or dairy soft cheeses and turn it into an arugula goat cheese salad with beets and apples.

    Scatter candied walnuts or pecans, or pine nuts for extra crunch. 

    Top your hearty green salad with alfalfa sprouts (did you know you can grow alfalfa sprouts quickly at home?) and chia seeds.
