Roasted Beet Salad with Arugula and Olive Oil Dressing

Arugula and Roasted Beet Salad with Olive Oil

You guys, this Roasted Beet Salad with Arugula and Olive Oil Dressing is the epitome of Fall, yet perfect for all the upcoming holiday celebrations on the calendar!  

I chose Golden Beets and Candy Cane Beets to up the festive look to this salad.  The candy cane beets are just like they sound, striped! And when quartered for this dish, they look amazing and perfectly cheery.

This dish takes just minutes to prepare, considering your beets are pre-cooked, and is so hearty that you can eat this alone for a light weeknight meal.

 

Roasted Beets

We start with fresh beets, scrubbed and trimmed.  I chose to keep my salad rustic with the skin on, but if you prefer to remove the skins, you can do that now.

Pour olive oil on each beet and toss to coat

Place the baking sheet into a 450 degree oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of your beets.  Test for doneness by sticking a skewer in the center of a beet.  It should go in easily.
