When spring comes in its path and my refrigerator begins to fill with radishes, herbs and every green tone, I long for the meals that feel as fresh and vibrant as the season. Enter: this Beet, bundle and goat cheese salad. It is delicious and exactly what I want to eat on a warm May afternoon, whether I am throwing it directly from the refrigerator for a healthy lunch or dressing it as an accompaniment for dinner with friends.
This is what I like to call a “meal preparation salad”, which means that it is abundant enough to endure for days in the refrigerator, with ingredients that have a better flavor after marine in the vinaigrette. In addition, it is full of nutritious ingredients and is one of those meals to feel good that leaves you satisfied and energized, not heavy. And when your refrigerator is already supplied with a large bowl? Healthy and fast foods feel effortlessly. Let’s get into that.
Ingredients you will need
- Roasted beet – Earthly and full of antioxidants (beets also support liver detoxification)
- Roasted red onion – Caramelized and naturally sweet
- Farro -Utility, chewable and full of plants -based fiber and protein
- Fresh radish – For a crunchy and spicy crunch
- Goat cheese – A creamy contrast with vegetables, is lower in lactose and easier to digest than cow’s milk cheese
- Rúcula – Green Peppery that add freshness and support digestion
- Basil or mint – Herbs make him feel bright and seasonal
- Toasted nuts -Grams, Omega-3 and support brain health
- Balsamic vinaigrette – Link everything together with enough sweetness and acid
Some tips to do this delicious
- Asa the vegetables in advance. Roasting beets and red onion is the only cooking application, and both can be made a few days before. Let the theme cool completely before adding to the salad so that the greens do not wilt.
- Cook the Farro like pasta. Boil it in salt water until they are tender, then drain and let cool. It is held wonderfully in the refrigerator for days without being soft.
- Leave it Marinar. If you are preparing for later, mix everything (except arugula and goat cheese) with the vinaigrette and let it rest in the refrigerator. Flavors deepen and become even more delicious.
- Add goat cheese just before serving. This prevents it from getting too soft or disappearing in the salad over time.
Ideas for meal preparation
One of the best parts of this salad is how well it remains during the week. On Sunday, I spoke beets and onions, I will cook the Farro, mix the vinaigrette and toast the nuts. When I am ready to eat, he throws everything together with arugula, herbs, radishes and goat cheese. Sprinkle with the dressing and ended.
Swaps suggested to try
- Do it without dairy. Change goat cheese for an alternative without dairy products such as almond feta cheese or leave it completely, the salad is still full of flavor.
- Change the grain. Quinoa, integral or barley rice would work well if you don’t have a farro.
- Use what you have. Change the arugula for spinach or naked, or mix roasted sweet potatoes or carrots instead of beets.
- Add a protein. A scathing egg, grilled chicken or crispy chickpeas make it a complete meal.
