Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
½ pound beets, peeled and sliced
2 cups water
1 cup red quinoa
½ cup olive oil
½ cup red wine vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
5 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
3 ounces arugula, chopped
2 green onions, sliced
Directions
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer; cover pan and bring water to a boil. Add beets, cover pan, and steam until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
Place 2 cups water and quinoa in a saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, garlic, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl.
Remove quinoa from heat, then immediately add 1/2 of the vinegar dressing while fluffing quinoa with a fork; reserve remaining dressing. Cover and refrigerate quinoa until cool, at least 1 hour.
Stir goats cheese, arugula, green onions, beets, and remaining dressing into cooled quinoa mixture. Toss lightly before serving.
