Beet and goat cheese salads started trending in the 1980s, and we’re grateful they’ve never really gone out of style. The sweet root vegetables and the earthy cheese work their magic in this protein-rich quinoa salad, brightened with fresh oranges. Curry powder, the surprising ingredient in our vinaigrette, adds another flavor dimension.

Chef’s Tip To prevent the beets from staining your cutting board, cover it with waxed or parchment paper before cutting them.
