Beet & Quinoa Salad w/ Pecans & Goat Cheese

I am going to include the very easy instructions for roasting little beets, but Sprouts has these pre-steamed and marinated packs that have been great to keep in the fridge. Beets come in many sizes, but look for some small ones so they cook faster and don’t weigh down the greens. I find they add some heft to my lunch salads that with a light protein, keep me full.

I am not going to have you buy a pack of anchovies just to use one, but I swear they are the secret of all my vinaigrettes. Just one tiny, maybe half of a filet! If you have some around, throw a tiny piece in the blender with the vinaigrette and even the anchovy-haters will know.
