As soon as September rolls in, I start craving grounding, earthy flavors — and this salad is the perfect answer. The sweet roasted beets, crunchy carrot ribbons, and peppery arugula come together in a bowl that’s as colorful as it is nourishing. Tossed with a creamy tahini-honey dressing, it’s hearty enough to stand on its own, yet light enough to keep you feeling vibrant.
