Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 425℉.
Line the bottom of a baking sheet with foil.
Cut off the ends of the beets. Individually wrap each beet tightly in aluminum foil and arrange on the baking sheet.
Bake for one hour or until the largest beet is easily pierced.
Unwrap the beets and let them cool to room temperature.
Peel the skin and then slice each beet into half and then wedges.
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet at medium heat, tossing them frequently until golden brown. Remove and cool.
Place the arugula into a large bowl. Add the remaining salad ingredients and toss lightly.
In a small bowl or mason jar, combine the salad dressing ingredients and whisk to combine. Drizzle over the salad when ready to serve.

Notes

Let the beets cool to room temperature before peeling and cutting.

To keep your hands from turning red or purple from the beets, I suggest wearing kitchen gloves.

This salad is best eaten right away.

You can make the beets, pecans, and dressing at least one day ahead. Store the beets and dressing in the refrigerator until ready to use.
