Roasted Beetroot Chakra Salad | Artistic Vegan Show 19

​Ground into your root chakra (muladhara) as you eat a roasted root chakra salad.  Fresh arugula, roasted beets, crunchy carrots, toasted walnuts and juicy raspberries are topped in a maple mustard balsamic dressing for an unforgettable, perhaps even lick your bowl worthy meal! See how to make it in the new Artistic Vegan Show or below. 

Mix and match, this version has kale, added cranberries and roasted carrots. 

Ingredients:
2 Medium Beets
2-3 Cups (75 grams) Arugula - remove from stem
1 Carrot - Diced 
1/2 Cup Raspberries
1/3 Cup Walnuts

Dressing:
2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
2 tsp Dijon Mustard

Peaceful Preparation:

1. Wash and scrub your beets. Preheat the oven to 375 °F / 190 °C. Line a baking pan or dish with foil or parchment paper for a protective shield. Wrap each beet in a piece of foil that is lined with parchment paper. Roast for one hour or until you can easily pierce with a fork. Time may vary based on size. In the last 5-10 minutes add the walnuts to the oven and roast until toasted. 
2. While the beets are cooking, mix your dressing together in a dish and set aside. 
3. Once the beets are cooked, turn off the oven. Open the foil carefully to release the heat. Once they are cool enough to handle, use the foil and parchment paper to rub the skin off. 
4. Place the arugula in a bowl, toss with the chopped carrot. Top with the roasted beets, roasted walnuts and raspberries. Serve with dressing on top or the side. ENJOY this flavorful, healthy and vibrant recipe! My husband said I don't think people will understand how good these beets are and how good this is!! It is so yummy. :)  

Notes:
Use your favorite leafy green. 
Add cranberries or replace raspberries with cranberries.
Use pecans or your favorite nut, or seeds if allergic to nuts.
Roast your carrots too if you prefer. 
Add your favorites!

Erica Vetra of VetraFitness.com and I are leading #TheHealingChallenge from today, Feb 1-7, focusing on the 7 chakras each day through food and yoga. See @ericavetrayoga and @artisticvegan77 on IG for more details. 

The root chakra deals with survival, security and basic needs like food, shelter, physicality, grounding, support and the foundation of our lives. Lets celebrate the fact that our basic needs are met and take joy in a wholesome meal together. 

With love,
