Gina's Beet and Goat Cheese Salad

By dhoffmanlatter

Ingredients

• Dressing:
• 4 medium candy stripped beets
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 ounces balsamic vinegar
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 cups arugula
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled

Preparation

Step 1

In a pot of cold water, place beets and then bring to a boil. Allow pot to simmer until the beats are tender but still have slight resistance in the centers. This will take 8 minutes. Peel the beets and slice.

In a small bowl whisk together olive oil and balsamic. Season with salt and pepper.

In a separate larger bowl, toss arugula, beets, pecans and goat cheese. Drizzle them with dressing and serve.
