Beet, Arugula & Quinoa Salad

Beet, Arugula & Quinoa Salad

Vegan


Bright, fresh, earthy, and packed with nutrients, this salad is an easy way to support thyroid health and balance hormones—plus it tastes amazing. Plus it’s vegan and hormone-friendly. A super fast and clean, modifiable recipe you’ll want to keep making!


Ingredients (Serves 1–2)

  • ½ to 1 beet (depending on size and servings), cooked and cubed
  • A handful or two of fresh arugula
  • ½ cup cooked quinoa (leftovers work great!)
  • A few sprigs of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Thinly sliced red onion, to taste
  • Tahini sauce to drizzle

Instructions

  1. If using raw beets, boil until tender (about 30–40 minutes), then let cool before peeling and cubing. You can also buy pre-cooked beets to save time.
  2. Cook quinoa according to package directions, or use pre-cooked quinoa from your meal prep stash.
  3. Thinly slice the red onion and chop the cilantro.
  4. Toss beets, arugula, quinoa, red onion, and cilantro together in a bowl.
  5. Drizzle with tahini or white bean tahini sauce and enjoy!

Wellness Notes

  • Beets are rich in folic acid, which can help support more regular menstrual cycles.
  • Quinoa, a whole grain, is great for thyroid function and overall hormone balance.

Modify This Recipe

  • Swap traditional tahini sauce for my white bean tahini sauce
  • Add other veggies, I just like to keep this one really easy and simple!
