Instructions

  1. Step 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. Step 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. Step 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. Step 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. Step 5

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

  6. Step 6

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