Pregnancy Friendly Cilantro-Lime Arugula and Roasted Beet Salad

Roasted beets, creamy avocado, and peppery baby arugula come together in a salad that feels genuinely special — vibrant, fresh, and packed with ingredients that do real work for a growing body. Beets are a fantastic source of folate, avocado brings healthy fats, and pepitas add a satisfying crunch along with plant-based iron and zinc. The cilantro-lime dressing is made entirely from scratch with olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, and cumin, so you know exactly what's going into every bite — no mystery preservatives or additives to second-guess. Arugula is a nutrient-dense leafy green that pairs beautifully with the earthy sweetness of the oven-roasted beets, and the whole bowl comes together with a brightness that makes it feel more like a restaurant dish than a weeknight salad. Wrapping the beets in foil and roasting them low and slow is the move here — it concentrates their flavor and makes the skins slip right off without any fuss. The dressing gets whisked together while the beets cool, so the timing flows naturally even when energy levels aren't at their peak. It's the kind of colorful, nourishing meal that genuinely makes you feel good about what you're eating.
