This roasted beet lentil salad was basically calling my name, something about seeing soil on vegetables makes me trust their flavor instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" dir=\"ltr\">For beets that came covered in soil, I wanted to pair them with lentils, which to me always feel a little like soil themselves. Along with arugula, walnuts, and feta, seasoned with pomegranate concentrate and balsamic vinegar, this salad turns out sweet, tangy, and deeply satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"1020\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_0177.jpg\" alt=\"Top view of ingredients for the lentil and roasted beets salad\" class=\"wp-image-1859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_0177.jpg 680w, https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_0177-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You&#8217;ll Love This Recipe:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sweet roasted beets paired with earthy lentils and creamy feta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Naturally gluten-free<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Great make-ahead salad, keeps well in the fridge for days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A beautiful, colorful dish for any table<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Ingredients &amp; Substitutions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Beets<\/strong> \u2013 roasted whole on a bed of coarse salt, which helps them cook evenly and stay tender. Any color of beet works well. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beet greens<\/strong> \u2013 don&#8217;t toss them! The stems and leaves cook right alongside the lentils. No beet greens? Kale (without the stems) or spinach work well instead. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Black lentils<\/strong> \u2013 hold their shape well after cooking, which makes them ideal for salads. Soaking them for at least 30 minutes beforehand is optional but recommended, it helps them cook a bit faster and more evenly. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pomegranate concentrate<\/strong> \u2013 a tangy, syrupy reduction of pomegranate juice that adds a bright sourness to the dressing. Find it at Middle Eastern grocery stores or well-stocked supermarkets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_0222.jpg\" alt=\"Whole roasted beets baked on coarse salt\" class=\"wp-image-1861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_0222.jpg 680w, https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_0222-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pro Tips for Success:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Roasting the beets on a bed of coarse salt helps them cook evenly and gives them a concentrated, almost caramelized flavor that pre-cooked, vacuum-packed beets just don&#8217;t have.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The beets are done when they feel soft all the way through, a knife should slide in easily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the beets cool slightly before peeling, the skin should come off easily once roasted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If making ahead, keep the arugula separate and add it just before serving so it stays crisp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Serve as a light lunch on its own, or as a side with a protein of your choice, like baked tofu or a soft-boiled egg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Great for a potluck or holiday table<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Top with extra crumbled feta right before serving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"1020\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_0185.jpg\" alt=\"Cooked lentils and beet greens draining in a strainer\" class=\"wp-image-1863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_0185.jpg 680w, https:\/\/thehappylentils.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/IMG_0185-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Can I substitute the beet greens?<\/strong> Yes, kale (without the stems) or spinach both work well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can I use pre-cooked beets to save time?<\/strong> Yes, pre-cooked, vacuum-packed beets work as a shortcut here. The flavor won&#8217;t be as deep or concentrated as salt-roasting your own, but it&#8217;s a real time saver if you&#8217;re in a rush.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How long does this salad keep?<\/strong> Up to 3 days in the fridge, it&#8217;s actually great served cold. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can I make this ahead?<\/strong> Yes, just leave out the arugula and add it right before serving so it stays fresh and crisp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"1020\"
