Love this combination with nuttiness of the quinoa, the tangy sweetness of the beets and the slight bite of arugula. The great balsamic dressing brings it all together perfectly.

How To Make quinoa salad with beets and arugula

  • 1
    Combine dressing ingredients. Pour half of the dressing over the quinoa, toss and chill while preparing remaining salad.

    HINT: Drain and rinse beets well before chopping. Once chopping is complete, gently squeeze any residual moisture from chopped beets using paper towels. This will keep the salad from turning pink!
