Beets add a satisfying sweetness to the peppery arugula. Leaving the roots and a bit of the stems attached to the beets keeps them from losing their nutrients and colour during cooking.
Ingredients
- 8 beets, (about 3 lb/1.5 kg)
- 10 cups trimmed arugula, about 5 bunches
- 1 cup walnut halves, toasted (optional)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
Preparation
Trim all but 1 inch (2.5 cm) of tops off beets; in large pot of boiling salted water, cover and cook beets until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain; let cool. Cut off tops; slip off skins. Cut each into 8 wedges. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 3 days.)
Place arugula, walnuts (if using), and onion in large bowl. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.)
In small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour all but 1 tbsp (15 mL) over arugula mixture and toss to coat. Toss remaining dressing with beets and arrange over arugula mixture.
