BEET, ORANGE AND ARUGULA SALAD

Beet, Orange and Arugula Salad image

The oranges in this sweet and pungent salad will look like blood oranges after they sit for a little while with the beets. This makes a pretty Christmas salad. Try to find the wispy wild arugula, which is more pungent than regular arugula.

WILD ARUGULA AND BEET SALAD WITH ORANGE, WALNUTS AND TARRAGON

Wild Arugula and Beet Salad With Orange, Walnuts and Tarragon image

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.

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.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, young arugula and beets. If you can't find fresh arugula, you can substitute baby spinach or kale.
Beets can be roasted ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it easy to assemble the salad at the last minute.
If you don't have a citrus zester, you can use a microplane grater to zest the oranges.
Candied walnuts add a delicious crunch and sweetness to the salad. If you don't have time to make your own, you can buy them at most grocery stores.
Tarragon is a great herb to use in this salad, but you can substitute another fresh herb, such as basil or mint, if you prefer.

Conclusion:

This wild arugula and beet salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy these two seasonal vegetables. The combination of sweet beets, tangy oranges, crunchy walnuts, and fresh herbs is sure to please everyone at your table.
