Salad Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Roast the Beets

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad

    Once the beets are done roasting, allow them to cool slightly before peeling and slicing them into wedges.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the arugula, sliced beets, and bleu cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sumac, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Top the salad with benne seeds for an added crunch and nutty flavor.
