roasted beetroot salad with arugula, feta cheese, toasted pecans with maple balsalmic vinaigrette

I get into salad ruts. There was the glorious summer of the strawberry halloumi salad, the days of the chicken avocado, and now my friends, it is the winter of the roasted beetroot salad. Roasted beetroot is obviously the star, but every other aspect compliments them so well. Peppery green arugula, feta cheese, toasted pecans, and either dates or pomegranate seeds or even better both. I usually pair it with a honey balsamic vinaigrette, but I tried substituting maple syrup once and I was sold. The flavor pairs so nicely with the earthy beetroot and the toasted pecans. I hope you try this beetroot arugula salad and it becomes a no go to! If nothing else, definitely try this maple balsamic dressing for the perfect mix of tangy and sweet.
