Hmmm, not really my flavor profile. Something about the beet-orange-arugula mixture doesn't quite meld with my taste buds. Gave it a go, but don't think I'll be making it in the future.
I already had cooked beets at home so I made this salad in like 15min. It's super easy, warm and tasteful 😍 unpopular opinion: I prefer autumn salads to summer ones 😂

Hehe autumn salads are incredible! So happy this one was enjoyed, Kse 💛
4/5 warm, 3/5 the next day having been in fridge overnight. Used air fryer for beetroot. Could do with a bit more of the delicious dressing per portion

Hey Louise, thanks for sharing your experience with the salad. In case it helps and you're storing the recipe again, we recommend storing the dressing separately from the other components of the salad to keep it fresh 🙂
OMG!😲 I was a little bit sceptical about this recipe but decided to try and can't tell you how good it was... Refreshing,filling,light and delicious. Thank you so much for this invention 😀
Hello! This looks SO good and I can't wait to make it, but I have one quick question. Is the dressing stored separate for up to 2 days in the fridge as well or can it be stored longer? I am trying to figure out the logistics of making this for my lunch for a few days for only myself. lol!

Hey there, Ashley, thanks for the question! You can definitely store it a day or two longer, we just recommend 2 days so that it tastes the freshest. Usually our dressings last much longer, but because this recipe includes both the juice and zest of a fresh orange, it can go bad more quickly than traditional dressings with just oil and vinegar. If you're going to store it longer, just give the dressing a quick taste test before pouring it over your salad to make sure it tastes how you'd like it to. I hope this helps for now 😊
yummy! use buckwheat instead of quinoa. One question: where is the circle that shows the vegetables, carbs/grains and protein? i miss it

Mmm buckwheat sounds like a lovely substitute, Michaela! Thanks for the question as well, the plate should appear for this one now 😊 We've opted to include the plate generally for meals rather than all recipes. Do let us know if there's anything else we can assist with!
Hello Love your easy tasty and very nutritious meals Would love it if you included the protein content. Thank you

Dressing was too mild

Super dish for late night’s dinner!

I feel so healthy eating this salad and it’s very light. I made double of the dressing though because I like it saucy 🤪 Great summer salad!

Refreshing and still filling at the same time - a delicious recipe!
