How to Prepare Hearty Superfood Salad With Arugula, Kale, and Beets [Vegan]

For the quinoa: In a pot over medium heat, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add quinoa and a dash of sea salt and cook covered until all the moisture is absorbed about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered.
For the roasted beets and sweet potatoes: Place veggies in a ziplock bag and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil. Seal the bag and shake ingredients until veggies are fully coated. Spread evenly onto a baking sheet lined with foil and roast for 35 to 40 minutes. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to flip your veggies about halfway through. Cook until vegetables are cooked through and slightly browned.
Assembly: Layer all your ingredients in a large bowl and toss with fresh cracked pepper and a dash of your favorite vinaigrette dressing.

You may want to double the recipe so you have lots of leftovers like I did; I've been eating this for lunch and dinner for the last three days! I just can't get enough!!
