Earthy roasted beets, creamy avocado, and peppery baby arugula come together in a salad that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy without a lot of fuss. The beets are foil-roasted until tender and silky, then sliced into wedges that practically melt against the greens. A bright cilantro-lime dressing — built from fresh lime juice, olive oil, cumin, and a touch of honey — ties every element together with a citrusy, herby punch that keeps each bite lively. Crunchy dry-roasted pepitas add the kind of satisfying texture that makes this feel like a complete, filling plate rather than a side salad afterthought. Every single ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, so there's no need to audit labels or swap anything out — it just works as written. It's the kind of dish that converts skeptics who think eating this way means sacrificing flavor, and it looks stunning on the table with almost zero effort.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place each beet on a square of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt. Wrap each beet tightly in the foil and arrange on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets until a paring knife slides through the center with no resistance, 40–50 minutes depending on size. Unwrap and let cool for 10 minutes, then rub off the skins using the foil or a paper towel. Cut into 1/2-inch wedges.
