Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Quinoa cooked according to package directions
  • ½ cup Lentils or Chick Peas cooked
  • 1 Beets cooked and grated- 1 large or 2 small
  • 5-6 Radishes sliced
  • 2 cups Rocket/Arugula
  • 2 tbsp Creamy Goat Cheese
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • ¼ cup Olive Oil
  • ½ Lemon
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Flat Leaf Parsley chopped
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Combine quinoa, lentils or chick peas, grated beets and sliced radishes and set aside.
  • Boil beets like you would regular potatoes until are easily pierced with a knife.
  • Make your vinaigrette dressing by mixing together balsamic vinegar, juice of ½ lemon and chopped up parsley, then slowly pour in olive oil in a thin and steady stream while whisking the entire time. You can use an immersion blender or food processor if you like your vinaigrette to be very smooth but a regular whisk will also do the trick.
  • Dress your salad with vinaigrette until evenly coated, taste it and add salt if needed, toss with rocket/arugula and goat cheese. Allow 15 minutes in the fridge before serving for the flavours to meld.
