Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap the 4 beets in foil and roast until fork-tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly, then peel and slice into wedges.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, toss the 4 cups arugula with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Arrange on a serving platter.

  3. Step 3

    Top the arugula with the sliced beets. Crumble the 4 oz goat cheese over the top.

  4. Step 4

    In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil with the 2 tbsp chopped herbs, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper. Drizzle over the salad.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately, optionally adding a squeeze of lemon if you have it.
