Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    If using raw beets, boil or roast them until tender. Allow them to cool, then peel and dice them into cubes.

  2. 2

    Toast the Walnuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Let cool and chop.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the arugula, diced beets, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped walnuts. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a fresh and vibrant salad.
