Urban Recipes
By Christina Jeffrey
This is the perfect salad to move into fall and it's not only beautiful but delicious! if you love roasted beets you will love this salad!
Roasted Beet and Arugula Salad with avocado, cranberries, candied pecans and goat cheese all tossed with a balsamic vinegrette.
I love beets, but the best and only way I like to prepare them is by roasting them. I actually toss them with the balsamic vinaigrette and then bake them until they caramelize. They are so decadent! But, these candied pecans, wow they top this salad off! Mixed with brown sugar and maple syrup, so delicious! I don't know which is better the candied pecans or the roasted beets, that's why they are so fantastic together.
