Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the beets
Heat the oven to 400°F.
- Scrub the beets; cut the beets in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
On a sheet pan, toss the beets with 2 to 3 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast, stirring halfway through, until the beets are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa.
2
Cook the quinoa
- Rinse the quinoa.
In a small sauce pot, combine the quinoa and 1 cup [2 cups] lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the meal.
3
Prep the remaining ingredients; make the vinaigrette
- Zest the orange. Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the orange; cut the orange in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons. Discard any seeds.
- Measure ½ teaspoon [1 tsp] curry powder; save the rest for another use.
- Cut the celery on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick slices.
- Strip the mint leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
In a small bowl, stir together the sweet vinaigrette base, orange zest, ½ teaspoon [1 tsp] curry powder, and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
Toast the naan
On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in a dry medium frying pan over medium heat, warm the naan, turning once, until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds per side. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster oven. Tear in half.
5
Assemble the quinoa salad
In a large bowl, toss the quinoa with half the vinaigrette. Add the beets, orange slices, celery, mint, arugula, and as much of the remaining vinaigrette as you like. Toss well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the quinoa salad to individual bowls, crumble over the goat cheese, and serve with the naan.
