Earthy roasted beets, creamy avocado, and peppery baby arugula come together in a salad that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy without much effort. The cilantro-lime dressing ā built from fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, a touch of honey, and ground cumin ā ties every element together with a bright, slightly smoky kick that keeps you going back for another forkful. Dry-roasted pepitas add a satisfying crunch and a little nutty depth that rounds out each bite beautifully. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of wheat, so there's no need to audit labels or swap anything out ā this one just works as written. The dressing comes together with a quick whisk, and the most time-consuming step is simply letting the beets roast low and slow until they're tender all the way through. That hands-off oven time is actually a gift, since it gives you space to prep everything else and have the table ready when the beets come out. Serve it as a stunning starter or pile it high as a light main ā either way, it disappears fast.

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, 40ā50 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.
