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.
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.
Step 3
Top the arugula with the sliced beets. Crumble the 4 oz goat cheese over the top.
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.
Step 5
Serve immediately, optionally adding a squeeze of lemon if you have it.
