if you’ve ever wanted to turn your salad into something a little more exciting (and satisfying), these roasted beet quinoa salad flatbreads are it.
salad and bread were made for each othe! the crispy, warm base paired with a cool, fresh, and flavorful topping just hits differently.
this one is bright, creamy, and crunchy all in one bite.
the combination of roasted beets, fluffy quinoa, peppery arugula, toasted cashews, and creamy goat cheese makes every bite taste like something from a café, but better because it’s homemade and full of nutrients.

the lemon honey dressing ties it all together with a light sweetness and a refreshing tang.
the texture is a dream. the naan or flatbread gets perfectly toasty, the salad has the right amount of crunch and creaminess, and the warm beets bring that cozy roasted flavor.
it’s the kind of lunch that feels both wholesome and elevated without being fussy.
substitution options
you can easily make swaps depending on what you have on hand.
try feta or dairy-free cheese instead of goat cheese, walnuts or almonds in place of cashews, or swap the quinoa for farro, couscous, or lentils.
if you’re not into beets, roasted sweet potatoes or carrots taste just as amazing with the same dressing.

how easy it is
this recipe is truly simple. roast one beet, toast some naan or flatbread, and toss everything in a bowl.
you pour the dressing ingredients right on top (no extra bowl needed), mix, and pile it all high on the warm flatbreads.
it’s minimal effort for something that looks and tastes restaurant-worthy.
storage
if you’re meal prepping, store the salad and flatbreads separately.
the salad will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days, and the flatbreads can be toasted just before serving.
once assembled, they’re best enjoyed fresh so the bread stays crisp.
