Servings 8 people

Equipment

  • Sheet tray
  • Small Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Large Bowl

Ingredients
  

Salad

  • 4 medium golden beets
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 small bunch tuscan kale stems removed and chopped
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa cooled
  • 2 asian pears diced
  • 4 oz crumbled feta cheese plus more for serving
  • ⅓ cup roasted sunflower seeds plus more for serving
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Dressing:

  • 1-2 tsp freshly grated ginger depending how gingery you’d like it
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp tahini
  • ⅓ cup rice vinegar
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Line a sheet tray with foil and place whole beets on the tray.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place another piece of foil on top and crimp both sheets together to make a foil pouch.
  • Roast for 30-40 minutes until beets are tender (you can check by piercing the beet though the foil packet with a fork)
  • Carefully open up foil packet (there will be steam!) and let beets cool.
  • Meanwhile prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk ginger, dijon, maple, tahini, and rice vinegar. Slowly stream in olive oil to emulsify into the dressing. Whisk in salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Once beets are cool, peel off skin and cut into random small chunks. Set aside.
  • Add kale to a large bowl. Add a small drizzle of dressing and massage the kale to soften slightly.
  • Add quinoa, pears, feta, sunflower seeds, dill and parsley to the bowl with the massaged kale. Add in cooled beets.
  • Pour in dressing and toss to coat. Season to taste with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve topped with more feta, and sunflower seeds.
  • This salad holds up great in the fridge too!
