DIRECTIONS:
Roast the beets
1
Preheat the oven to 425°. Peel and quarter the beets, place in a medium sized bowl and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil. Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the beets are softened enough to be pierced with a fork but still have some firmness to them. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Cook quinoa and make the dressing
2
Place the quinoa and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 12 minutes. Remove the quinoa from the heat and set aside to cool.
3
Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together the sugar/honey/maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic. Taste and salt as necessary.
Toss everything together
4
Add quinoa to the large bowl of your dressing mix. Then toss in beets, crumbled cheese, and chopped walnuts/pecans. Serve with green onions as a garnish on top, if you wish!
