Arugula, beetroot and tomato salad is easy to make: combine washed, thoroughly dried arugula with cooked or raw beetroot and chopped tomatoes. Dress it with olive oil and lemon juice just before serving so the leaves stay crisp.
Either works in arugula, beetroot and tomato salad. Roasted beetroot tastes sweeter and more concentrated, while boiled beetroot is softer and milder. Let cooked beetroot cool completely before mixing it with the arugula.
A lemon and olive oil dressing suits arugula, beetroot and tomato salad especially well. Its acidity balances the beetroot’s sweetness and arugula’s peppery bite. Add a little mustard or balsamic vinegar if you want a sharper, fuller-flavoured dressing.
You can prep arugula, beetroot and tomato salad ahead, but keep the components separate until serving. Store cooked beetroot in a covered container and keep washed, dried arugula chilled; add the tomatoes and dressing at the last moment.
Yes, raw beetroot works in arugula, beetroot and tomato salad when it is washed, peeled and grated or shaved very thinly. Thin pieces are easier to eat than chunks and add a firm crunch alongside the soft tomato.
Keep arugula crisp in arugula, beetroot and tomato salad by drying the leaves thoroughly and adding dressing only just before serving. Cool cooked beetroot first, and avoid leaving salted tomatoes mixed with the greens for a long time.
Arugula, beetroot and tomato salad pairs well with grilled fish, chicken, roasted vegetables or beans. Its peppery, tangy flavour also cuts through richer dishes; add bread or a grain on the side to make it a more substantial meal.
Yes, feta or goat cheese is a common addition to arugula, beetroot and tomato salad. The salty, creamy cheese contrasts with sweet beetroot and sharp arugula; dress lightly and taste before adding extra salt.
Arugula, beetroot and tomato salad can turn red because beetroot releases its deeply coloured juice, especially after it is cut or grated. Keep the beetroot in larger pieces and mix it in gently just before serving to limit staining.
Yes, arugula, beetroot and tomato salad can make a light lunch, but the vegetables alone may not keep you full for long. Add beans, eggs, cheese or another protein-rich food to make it more satisfying.

Arugula, beetroot and tomato salad brings together peppery fresh leaves, sweet, earthy beetroot and juicy tomato. The beetroot is often cooked and sliced or grated, though raw beetroot can also be used. A simple dressing of olive oil and lemon lets the vegetables’ contrasting flavours come through.
Serve it as a side, alongside grilled dishes, or as a light lunch with bread or grains. Its crisp, juicy textures balance the tender beetroot, and the vegetables provide fibre, folate and vitamin K. At 36 calories per 100 g, it makes a light base; add chickpeas or beans for a more filling meal, and dress just before serving to keep the leaves fresh.
