Ingredients

  • 2 medium beets
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • ½ small red onion
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 medium bell pepper
  • 4 cups arugula
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap the 2 beets in foil and roast until fork-tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel and slice into wedges.

  2. 2

    While beets roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the 8 oz mushrooms and cook until golden and browned, about 6 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Thinly slice the 1/2 small red onion and place in a small bowl with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Let marinate while you prep the rest.

  4. 4

    Halve the 1 cup cherry tomatoes and dice the 1 bell pepper. In a large bowl, combine the arugula, tomatoes, pepper, and marinated onion with its oil.

  5. 5

    Add the roasted beets and sautéed mushrooms to the bowl. Toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle with the 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds and serve immediately.
