Method

Preparation of Beets

  1. 1

    Roasting the Beets

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 45-60 minutes or until fork-tender. Once cooked, allow them to cool, then peel and slice into wedges.

Preparation of Goat Cheese

  1. 2

    Whipping the Goat Cheese

    In a mixing bowl, add the goat cheese and a splash of olive oil. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the cheese until creamy and smooth. Adjust the texture by adding more oil if necessary.

Preparation of Candied Walnuts

  1. 3

    Making Candied Walnuts

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the walnuts, honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir frequently for about 5-7 minutes until the walnuts are toasted and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool, then chop coarsely.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assembling the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the arugula as a base. Top with roasted beet wedges, dollops of whipped goat cheese, and sprinkle with candied walnuts. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and additional olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
