I absolutely adore the colors of this dish and it makes for the perfect side dish. It’s hearty and full of carbs, but still very healthy and obviously delicious.

Now, the fun part – toss those salad greens with half of the vinaigrette, then layer on the quinoa and sweet potatoes. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over it and top with sliced beets.

The earthy sweetness of the beets and the sweet potatoes meshes perfectly with the pomegranate seeds and tangy lemon turmeric dressing, whilst the quinoa adds a wonderful nutty taste.
