Arugula Beet Salad
This colorful arugula beet salad is so scrumptious you will forget you are eating a salad!
I love me some awesome colorful arugula beet salad. Don’t you?
Christopher and I always enjoy a good salad. When we go out to restaurants, we typically share because the salads are often huge and I don’t want to fill up on salad. I want to fill up on the rolls!
Oh, and the main dish, of course. But there are always doggie bags for that. Because as I mentioned, there are rolls.
We had a version of this salad at an Italian restaurant that we like to frequent.

How to make this salad
Pre-step
We will build the salad directly in the bowl so now’s the time to gather it.
Step one
Gather the ingredients – arugula, cooked colorful beets, gorgonzola cheese and walnuts.
Step two
Add a big handful of pre-washed arugula and place it in the bowl.
Step three
Add the sliced beets, arranging them on top of the arugula.
Step four
Sprinkle gorgonzola cheese on top.
Step five
Sprinkle on some roughly chopped walnuts.
Isn’t it pretty with the different colored beets? It’s great to serve it at dinner parties because of how delicious it is and how beautiful it looks!
I choose to add homemade balsamic vinaigrette but use whatever dressing you like.
I poured the vinaigrette in a little pourer and asked darling hub, Christopher to assist me.
Christopher: “Say when!”
The beginning!
Not enough!
Me: “WHEN!”
Perfect!
I hope you enjoy this arugula beet recipe!
