Beetroot and quinoa patties with spring oat salad and tahini dressing

Grated beetroot together with cooked red quinoa makes be most delicious savory patties, which goes very well with a light spring salad such as this one above. Make a big batch of the patties, bake them in the oven on a oven tray, all of them at the same time, and you're good to go for many coming lunches and dinners!
