BEET AND ARUGULA SALAD WITH BERRIES



Beet and Arugula Salad With Berries image

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.

QUINOA, BEET, AND ARUGULA SALAD



Quinoa, Beet, and Arugula Salad image

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.
