1/2 pound beets
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups water
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 pound arugula, chopped
5 ounces goat cheese
Cook beets until tender, then peel and slice. Bring water to boil, add quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Whisk vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper together. Remove quinoa from heat, add 1/2 of the salad dressing, cover, and refrigerate for 1/2 to 1 hour. Stir in onion, arugula, goat cheese, beets, and remaining dressing, toss, and serve.
