Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread the chickpeas on a small baking sheet and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Season lightly with salt, black pepper, ½ teaspoon coriander and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast the chickpeas until golden brown and crispy, shaking the sheet halfway through baking, 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, and while still warm, zest the orange over the roasted chickpeas. Stir to combine.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the yogurt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar and the remaining 1 teaspoon ground coriander. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 3
In a medium bowl, toss the beets, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining 1 tablespoon rice vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Add the arugula and toss to combine.
- Step 4
To serve, spread half of the yogurt dressing on a serving platter. Add the beet mixture and scatter the chickpeas all over the top. Spoon the remaining yogurt dressing over everything and serve immediately.

On cooking beets - I don’t like baking them wrapped in aluminum foil - it is too wasteful. Instead I put in as many as my mini slow cooker can hold and switch it on high. They cook through in 2-3 hours and the skin slips off with a little persuasion by the vegetable peeler.
Simple kitchen hack. Rinse the chick peas and give them a good spin in the salad spinner. They will be much drier and roast up quicker than drying them with a towel.
I thought this salad sounded perfect…and then I made it. While it’s a good starting off point, it’s simply too bland as is. I wound up adding pieces of orange (you’ve zested it, so why not use the rest of it). I also added blue cheese. Now, it sounds as though I’m just making the regular ol’ beet/blue cheese/zingy fruit salad. *But* the crispy chick peas and the yogurt dressing do make it different. (Oh, and maybe I’d use lemon rather than rice vinegar.)
This is amazing. Easy and quick but oh so tasty
I subbed chopped preserved lemon (about 1/2 lemon) for the oranges, since I didn't have any--it's springtime! I'll try with oranges in the winter. Thank you, Jessica, for the suggestion to add golden raisins (bringing a tart-sweet chewiness) and red onions (for a little kick). Next time I'll add yuzu powder and garlic to the dressing and make ahead so the flavors can bloom. I used a 1lb package of precooked beets (fast and easy) and half the greens. Only beets were leftover for just 2 of us!
Delicious beet salad! Switched lemon for vinegar, added some garlic to the yogurt along with some fresh dill. Filling, healthy and fresh.
