Serves 6-8

You will need:

- 6 large red beets, roasted

- 8 tablespoons plain goat cheese

To prepare beets:Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.Roast beets in skin in the oven for 45 minutesLet the beets cool, then peel the beets and slice into ½ inch disks* I use gloves or a knife and fork to peel my beets; it’s much less messy this way.

Dressing

You will need:

- ¼ cup lime olive oil like O&CO

- ¼ cup lime juice

- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt

- 3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot

Assembly of the salad: Arrange beets on a platter or a plate on top of arugula, dollop with teaspoons of goat cheese, pour dressing over the salad.
