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.

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!”
