Provided by ruthg

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound beets, halved
2/3 cup uncooked black rice
1 1/3 cup water
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
2 cups packed, shredded raw kale
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons cold-pressed flaxseed oil OR extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
Ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Add beets to a sheet of parchment-lined foil. Crunch into a ball. Roast for 1 1/2 hours, until tender. Cool until comfortable to handle. Cut beets into bite-sized pieces or wedges. Add to a large bowl. In a medium pot, add rice and 1 1/3 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 40 to 45 minutes. Fluff with a fork and add to beets, along with kale and pecans. In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients or shake in a jar. Add to salad. Toss to combine, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (overnight is best). Before serving, taste and adjusting seasoning if desired. This salad will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

I made this salad for lunch and it was so filling and satisfying. The dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I'll definitely be making this again.

This was a great way to use up some leftover black rice. I added some roasted sweet potatoes and chickpeas for extra protein and flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of kale, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing really mellowed out the kale and the beets added a nice sweetness.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The colors were vibrant and the flavors were amazing. I especially loved the tangy cider-flax dressing.
