Pair it with quinoa, a protein, and fiber-rich grain, and you have a healthy and balanced meal. The golden beets and maple-mustard salad dressing bring vivid color to this salad but they also bring a sweet and tangy taste.

This salad is the convergence of two unlikely worlds but when put on the plate it works so well.
