Ingredients

1 cup quinoa
2 beets, trimmed and quartered
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 juiced orange + zest
1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup arugula
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Rinse quinoa well and place into a large pot with 1.5 cups of water and pinch of sea salt. Cover, bring to a boil, and immediately reduce to a simmer without removing lid. After 20 minutes, check to see if the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat and leave lid on for 10 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl to cool.
Preheat oven to 375ºF. While quinoa is coking, roast the beets. Toss the beets with oil and salt and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until beets are fork-tender. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
To prepare dressing, combine olive oil, orange zest and juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the cooled quinoa, beets, arugula, and parsley with the dressing.
